England v Australia - ICC Champions Trophy
The key component in Australia's bowling attack

The youngest fast-bowler to represent New South Wales, Josh Hazlewood was the part of Australia's U-19 World Cup squad. Following consistent performances in the domestic circuit, Hazlewood earned his national call-up in the 50-over format against England in 2010.

A slew of injuries and competition for places in the Aussie team meant Hazlewood had to wait for three more years to play his second ODI. Hazlewood then went on to represent the Sydney Sixers in the inaugural edition of the BBL, where he went on to become the leading wicket-taker (14 wickets) in the 2013-14 season, ahead of Mitchell Starc.

The second-highest wicket-taker in Sixers history, Hazlewood was drafted into the Aussie ODI team against South Africa in 2014 and claimes a five-wicket-haul at the WACA. Gritty performances in the 50-over format meant Hazlewood was handed the coveted Baggy Green in the summer of 2014/15 against India.

Hazlewood made an immediate impression as he rocked the Indian batting line-up, and bagged a five-wicket haul in the process. A crucial part of Australia's 2015 WC winning campaign (7 wickets at an average of 25), Hazlewood is now the bedrock of his team's bowling forming an enviable pair with tearaway fast-bowler Mitchell Starc.
