‘It’s one we need to tick off’ - Hazlewood says Australia determined to beat India in a Test series

While India have emerged victorious over the last four Test series between the two nations - including their last two tours Down Under - the visitors arrive to these shores on the back of a numbing defeat at the hands of New Zealand at home.

Come the Perth Test, Hazlewood believes, India will be starting afresh under different conditions and a more relaxing atmosphere around the team.

“We have had overseas losses and then come, and played some good cricket. I think professional sportspersons can put those losses on the backburner pretty quickly these days and learn from it,” he said.

“In particular, when they are out of India, they might be able to relax a bit more. You know, not being under the hype of a home Test. Get into Australia, get out and about a little bit, relax and enjoy their freedom a little bit. The conditions being so different, it’s sort of a fresh start as well. I think they’ll be hungry, they’ll be ready to go,” Hazlewood added.
