According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Josh Hazlewood will return to play for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Playoffs 2025 of the Premier League of India (IPL), although it is recovering from a small shoulder injury.

The Australian fast bowling player is currently in Brisbane, where he is completing his rehabilitation. It is expected to fly to India next week to join RCB before the playoffs begin on May 29.

Many thought Hazlewood could omit the rest of the tournament to rest before the final of the World Test Championship against South Africa on June 11. But its injury is not serious, and it is expected to be in both for the IPL playoffs and for the WTC final.
