Politics doesn’t happen in Australia. I know it happens in India: Ryan Harris

Australian pacers Josh Hazlewood’s comments of “You probably have to ask one of the batters that question,” during the first Test, when asked if they can chase the runs posted by India in the final innings, have opened up to speculation if there are fractions in the Australian team. Days after the defeat Australian Cricket declared that Hazlewood was suffering from an injury and was ruled out of the 2nd Test in Adelaide which sparked further debate.

“Now, a few days later, Hazlewood is out of the second Test and possibly the series too with a supposed side strain. Strange, that, since nobody had noticed anything wrong with Hazlewood at that media conference,” former Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar speculated in his column for Sportstar. “Look, there are no, factions. That’s just all garbage. I’ve even heard Mr Gavaskar coming out and saying there’s some faction. It’s all rubbish. That doesn’t happen in Australia. I know it happens in India. I’ve lived there,” former Australian bowler Ryan Harris would respond sternly speaking to The Indian Express about the matter.
