Cricket Australia has taken a perfect decision by giving hazlewood a much needed break. Since IPL is not a compulsory event that everyone has to take part in one can choose to take time off this event and rejuvenate and come back strongly for the next important event. This will do a lot of good to josh and he will be super fit and rearing to go for australia.
Correct decision. He has a long and hard work load ahead of him and giving preference to national duty ahead of club cricket is the right thing to do. In contracpst Indian players don't miss the IPlL because of huge monies and don't mind missing the national duty .. Case in point is Irfan Pathan etc. these guys are always fit for ipl, but somehow announce injuries for loomed tic and even international matches. So much of monies these side kick players make in ipl that they don't want to miss the ipl at any cost!
