Josh Hazlewood Test Cricket Stats

Test cricket is where Josh Hazlewood has made the clearest mark. His 302 wickets have come at a bowling average that most fast bowlers would consider competitive, and his economy rate of 2.78 is among the tighter figures recorded by any Australian pace bowler in the modern era.

Test Bowling Stats

Balls	Runs	Wkts	Ave	Econ	SR	BBI	BBM	5w	10w
15,609	7,238	302	23.96	2.78	51.6	6/67	9/79	14	0

What stands out in these numbers is the economy rate. Across 77 Tests, Hazlewood has conceded fewer than three runs per over, which reflects an unerring accuracy that bowlers with more pace rarely match. The 14 five-wicket hauls across his career show that he is not simply a containment bowler. He takes wickets in clusters.

Best Bowling Figures in Tests

Type	Figures	Opposition	Context
Best Innings	6/67	India	Bangalore, 2017
Best Match	9/79	Various	Career best match

His best innings figures of 6/67 came against India in Bangalore in 2017, while his best match figures of 9/79 reflect a sustained two-innings performance. What's often overlooked is that these peaks came despite a long-running injury history, meaning they arrived without the benefit of consistent, uninterrupted match rhythm.

Test Batting and Fielding Stats

Inns	NO	Runs	HS	Ave	4s	6s	Ct
98	49	569	39	11.61	81	2	30

Hazlewood is a lower-order left-hand bat with a highest score of 39. His 30 catches in Tests reflect an athletic presence in the cordon, where he is regularly positioned at slip.

Test Performance: Home vs Away

Context	Mat	Wkts	Ave	Econ
Home (Australia)	45	191	21.40	2.65
Away	32	111	28.10	2.95

The home/away split tells a familiar story for any pace bowler. Hazlewood's average of around 21 at home compared to 28 away reflects the advantage Australian pitches offer, though his away economy rate of under three runs per over remains notable.

Fast bowlers operating outside their home conditions almost always see averages stretch. The gap here is not dramatic, but it is consistent with the broader pattern observed across Australia's pace attack over the past decade.

Test Series Highlights

Season	Opposition	Wickets	Average	Notable Figure
2016-17	South Africa & Pakistan	32	~20.00	6/89 in Hobart
2017-18 Ashes	England	21	23.50	8 wickets in Perth Test
2023-24	West Indies & Pakistan	25	14.40	Home season peak
Aug 2026	Bangladesh	7	Ongoing	6/89, 300th wicket game

The 2023-24 home season stands out. An average of 14.40 across that campaign represents some of the most controlled pace bowling in a single Australian season. By August 2026, he had passed 300 Test wickets, becoming the ninth Australian man to reach that milestone.

Josh Hazlewood ODI Stats

Hazlewood's ODI record is sometimes underrated because the attention tends to stay on his Test numbers. But 142 wickets at 27.66 across 96 matches, with three five-wicket hauls, is a strong return for a format where scoring rates have risen considerably.

ODI Bowling Stats

Mat	Inns	Wkts	Ave	Econ	SR	BBI	5w
96	95	142	27.66	4.73	35.0	6/52	3

His best figures of 6/52 remain one of the better individual ODI performances by an Australian bowler. His economy of 4.73 is tight for the format, reflecting the same accuracy that defines his Test numbers.

ODI Batting and Fielding Stats

Inns	Runs	HS	Ave	Ct
38	135	23*	15.00	32

ODI Tournament Highlights

Hazlewood played a key supporting role in Australia's 2023 ODI World Cup win. He was not the leading wicket-taker in that campaign, but his ability to keep the run rate down in the middle overs consistently gave Australia options at the other end.

Josh Hazlewood T20I Stats

T20 cricket took time for Hazlewood to lock down a consistent place in. His T20I economy rate of 7.47 and strike rate of 17.0 are both competitive for the format, and his average of 21.26 across 79 wickets is impressive given how freely batters score in modern T20 cricket.

T20I Tournament Highlights

The 2021 T20 World Cup was the point where Hazlewood confirmed his white-ball credentials. He took 11 wickets from 7 games, including 3/16 in the final against New Zealand, as Australia won the title. That tournament cemented his place in Australia's T20 plans for the years that followed.

According to Wikipedia's profile of Josh Hazlewood, he went on to win three ICC tournaments with Australia: the 2015 Cricket World Cup, the 2021 T20 World Cup, and the 2023 Cricket World Cup.

Josh Hazlewood IPL Stats

The IPL is where Hazlewood's T20 game developed most. His time at Chennai Super Kings gave him a structured environment to work on slower ball variations, specifically the knuckle ball and off-cutter, skills that transferred directly into international cricket.

IPL Bowling Stats by Team

Team	Mat	Wkts	Ave	Econ	SR	BBI
Chennai Super Kings	Selected seasons	Part of 72 total	23.47	8.62	16.3	4/12
Royal Challengers Bengaluru	Selected seasons	Part of 72 total	23.47	8.62	16.3	4/12

Total IPL wickets across both teams: 72 wickets from 52 matches.

IPL Career Highlights

In IPL 2025, Hazlewood took 22 wickets as Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their first IPL title. He did not play the 2024 season due to injury, which made the 2025 return particularly significant. His Josh Hazlewood IPL wickets tally of 72 places him among the more productive overseas pacers in the tournament's history.

Josh Hazlewood BBL and First-Class Stats

BBL Bowling Stats (Sydney Sixers)

Mat	Inns	Wkts	Ave	Econ	SR	BBI
19	19	26	20.61	7.54	16.3	3/16

His BBL numbers with the Sydney Sixers show an economy of 7.54, which is tighter than his IPL figures. A smaller sample size partly explains this, but his accuracy in Australian domestic T20 conditions has been consistent.

First-Class Bowling Stats

Mat	Inns	Wkts	Ave	Econ	SR	BBI	5w
120	222	448	23.85	2.77	51.6	6/35	16

448 first-class wickets across 120 matches. The average and economy rate are almost identical to his Test numbers, which makes sense. His Test cricket is an extension of the same skill set applied at the highest level.

List A Bowling Stats

Mat	Inns	Wkts	Ave	Econ	SR	BBI
148	146	221	28.02	4.75	35.3	7/36

His List A best of 7/36 is better than his ODI best of 6/52, which reflects that some of his most destructive limited-overs performances came in domestic cricket before he locked down his international spot.

Josh Hazlewood Stats Across Formats: Economy and Strike Rate Compared

Cross-Format Bowling Comparison

Format	Ave	Econ	SR
Tests	23.96	2.78	51.6
ODIs	27.66	4.73	35.0
T20Is	21.26	7.47	17.0
IPL	23.47	8.62	16.3

The economy rate rising from 2.78 in Tests to 8.62 in the IPL is not a sign of declining effectiveness. It reflects the scoring rates in each format. T20 batters attack from ball one, and even the most accurate bowlers in the world concede above seven runs per over regularly. Interestingly,

Hazlewood's T20I average of 21.26 is actually lower than his Test average of 23.96, which suggests he takes wickets at a better rate in the shorter format, even if the runs flow more freely.

The strike rate movement is equally telling. In Tests, a wicket every 51.6 balls is solid. In T20Is, a wicket every 17 balls is exceptional. That figure puts him among the more dangerous wicket-taking bowlers in T20 cricket.

Josh Hazlewood vs Mitchell Starc vs Pat Cummins: Test Bowling Stats

Test Bowling Comparison Table

Bowler	Tests	Wkts	Ave	Econ	SR	5w
Josh Hazlewood	77	302	23.96	2.78	51.6	14
Mitchell Starc	98	365	27.60	3.05	54.2	20
Pat Cummins	67	298	21.54	2.83	45.6	15

Cummins has the best average of the three. Starc has the most wickets and five-wicket hauls. Hazlewood sits between the two: tighter economy than Starc, more wickets than Cummins from a larger match base.

What the Australia fast bowler stats show across this trio is three bowlers with complementary profiles. Hazlewood's role has never been to be the headline act. His numbers reflect consistency over spectacle, and the 302 wickets are the outcome of that approach sustained over more than a decade.

Josh Hazlewood Injury Timeline and Matches Missed

Injuries have been a recurring factor in Hazlewood's career. Both top competitor profiles mention this, but neither presents it clearly.

Key Injury Periods

Year	Injury/Issue	Series or Tournament Missed
2010	Back stress fracture	Australia's Test tour of India
2018	Back injury	UAE Test tour, lost vice-captaincy role
2018-19	Back issues	2019 ODI World Cup squad
2022	Unspecified injury	World Test Championship Final
2024	Injury	Full IPL 2024 season
2025-26	Hamstring, then Achilles	Home Ashes series, 13-month Test absence

At first glance, this looks like a fragile career. But consider the actual output across those years: 302 Test wickets, 142 ODI wickets, and 79 T20I wickets despite significant time missed. In practice, fast bowlers who operate at his height and intensity tend to carry back-related stress injuries as an occupational pattern. The gaps in his career have not stopped him from reaching significant milestones.

300 Test Wickets Milestone

In August 2026, Hazlewood became the ninth Australian man to take 300 Test wickets. The milestone came during the Test against Bangladesh in Darwin, where his figures of 6/89 in the first innings were the kind of performance that has defined his career across 12 years at Test level.

As reported by BBC Sport in their coverage of his Test debut, Hazlewood took 5/68 on his very first day as a Test cricketer, making him the 33rd Australian to take a five-wicket haul on debut. From that point through to 300 wickets, the journey has been measured in exactly the way you would expect from a bowler of his style: steady, accurate, and difficult to get away.

Only Glenn McGrath, Pat Cummins, and Dennis Lillee have taken more Test wickets for Australia at a better average than Hazlewood's 24.02.
