Selectors Say Timing's Off for Cummins, Hazlewood IPL Fit
Yo, Australia just took a nosedive outta the T20 World Cup 2026, leavin' fans buggin' out. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are chillin' for the IPL, but selectors say it’s all about timing, baby. They only snagged four wickets in losses to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Selector Tony Dodemaide keeps it real, sayin' it ain't about the IPL over the national squad, ya feel me?
Quick rundown
- Timing, not talent: selectors point to a timing issue for Australia’s World Cup exit.
- Cummins and Hazlewood out injured; Stoinis and Green bagged all four wickets in the Zimbabwe/Sri Lanka losses.
- Smith got the call as cover but barely played; mainly slotted in as top-order backup.
- IPL fitness window looms as a hopeful silver lining for the quicks' return.
- A full review awaits on home soil to decode the exit and map the comeback.
