Josh Hazlewood has achieved a significant milestone in his Test cricket career by becoming the ninth Australian bowler to claim 300 wickets, marking his 14th five-wicket haul in the format. The fast bowler's impressive achievement came during the first Test against Bangladesh in Darwin, where he dismissed Ebadot Hossain to complete his 300th wicket.
Hazlewood now joins fellow Australian pacer Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc in the elite 300-wicket club. Astonishingly, Australia is the first team in Test history to field four bowlers together who have all reached the 300-wicket mark. With a career bowling average of 24.02, Hazlewood's performance stands out, as it ranks fourth among Australian bowlers to have amassed at least 300 Test wickets.
His standout performance on the third day in Darwin, where he took all four Bangladesh wickets after lunch, contributed significantly to Australia's 228-run first-innings lead.
