Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood etched his name into
cricket history by becoming the ninth Australian to reach 300 Test wickets. The
fast bowler achieved the landmark during a first-innings performance where he
took 6 for 89.

The milestone moment arrived when Hazlewood coaxed an edge from all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz who was caught behind by the wicketkeeper. He went on to wrap up the innings shortly after, taking his career tally to 301 wickets and completing another five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
Hazlewood’s entry into the 300-wicket club completes a rare
historic feat for Australian cricket. He joins current teammates in the
milestone club, forming part of an extraordinary bowling attack where four
active bowlers have each accumulated 300 or more Test scalps while playing
alongside one another.
With a career bowling average near 24, Hazlewood ranks among
Australia's all-time greatest seamers, maintaining a record that stands
alongside the nation's premier historical bowlers. Returning to the Test arena
after recovering from an injury setback, his relentless line and length once
again demonstrated why he remains a vital pillar of the team's bowling unit.
