Australia's fast bowler, Josh Hazlewood, is once again facing fitness problems. On the fourth day of the third Test against India, Hazlewood experienced a calf injury.

Cricket Australia has confirmed that Hazlewood underwent a scan, and a decision will be made based on the results. 

The team management is facing criticism for choosing Hazlewood over the in-form Scott Boland. Hazlewood’s participation in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, scheduled for December 26, is now uncertain.

It is also worth noting that Hazlewood missed the second Test against India due to ongoing fitness concerns.
