Australia determined to end BGT drought, says star pacer Hazlewood

Ten years ago, when Australia last beat India 2-0 in a four-Test series Down Under in 2014-15, Josh Hazlewood made his debut in the longest format.

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then, as India made rapid strides by winning the next four Test series, including their last two tours Down Under in 2018-19 and 2021-22.

While the Kangaroos have bested India to claim the World Test Championship 2023 final, Hazlewood felt that winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade has been high up on their wishlist.

As the two teams brace themselves for a grueling five-Test rubber, for the first time since 1992, Hazlewood said that there are only a handful in the current Australian side who were part of the triumphant 2014-15 party, and thus it provides an extra motivation for the others to go hard at the visitors when the Test series begins Friday at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
