Fri Dec 06 10:52:55 UTC 2024: ## Boland Replaces Hazlewood in Australia’s Second Test Against India
**Melbourne, Australia** – Australia has replaced injured fast bowler Josh Hazlewood with Scott Boland for the second Test against India, beginning today. The match, a day-night affair played under lights with a pink ball, is crucial for Australia after their loss in the first Test.
Boland, known for his impressive performance in pink-ball Tests, is expected to be a significant threat to India. He famously took seven wickets in both the Boxing Day Test against England in 2021 and the Sydney Test later that season. He also claimed five wickets against India in the 2023 World Test Championship final.
While Boland’s inclusion in the current Test is significant, speculation regarding his participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025 has been addressed. Currently, he is not slated to play in the IPL unless a player injury necessitates a replacement.
