Josh \ufeffHazlewood<\/a> is adamant none of Australia<\/a>'s fast-bowling cartel will be rested against India<\/a>, but concedes playing every Test together may be a tough task.<\/p>\n

The trio of Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins managed to play all five of the side's red-ball games last \ufeffsummer in a rare feat for the group.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters ahead of his impending return to domestic duties with NSW, the towering 33-year-old said the days of a rotation policy remain in the rear-view mirror despite last year's iron man efforts from the quicks.<\/p>\n

"We did it last year, but it was probably a one-off," Hazlewood said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"We field the same question every year – if you're fit, you play and if you're not, you don't play. It's as simple as that, no one rests a Test match.<\/p>\n

"We've got enough in the stable to roll through a couple of guys who we know do can do a really good job and put real big pressure on us from time to time … no dramas there."<\/p>\n

The back-up options that Hazlewood alludes to would be Scott Boland and Michael Neser, with both men \ufeffcontinually knocking on the door for Test selection.<\/p>\n

Hazlewood will line up for NSW next week against Queensland in what looms as a crucial hit-out for the ever-consistent Tamworth product ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.<\/p>\n

"You can do as much as you want in the nets and with the recent series in England, my one-day cricket is up to speed," he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"But probably more important is the Shield game next week, to get out there and just have those longer spells … all those things you need to sort of tick off, we haven't had that opportunity in the last few years to do that.<\/p>\n

"I think anything around 30 is a really good workout. As I said, tick all those boxes of the back-to-back bowling and those sort of things.<\/p>\n

"Get the miles in the legs and get ready for Test cricket."<\/p>\n

India will come into the five-Test series with some confidence after their exploits last time in Australia, but their most recent performance against New Zealand\ufeff could be weighing heavily on the mind of Virat Kohli<\/a> and company.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But after being rolled for 46 in the first innings against the Black Caps<\/a>, \ufeffHazlewood is certain the Indian batting group will bounce back in time for their trip Down Under.<\/p>\n

"They are a pretty resilient group," he said.<\/p>\n

"As we saw in the second innings, they got 400-odd. They are just blips on the radar for them. They're a dangerous team and I think that doesn't happen too often."<\/p>\n

The first Test will begin on November 22 in Perth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
