NEW DELHI: Australia's Travis Head has dismissed Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar's remarks about Josh Hazlewood's side strain injury, calling them “pretty funny” and suggesting they were an attempt to stir controversy after Australia's heavy defeat in the first Test against India in Perth.
Hazlewood was ruled out of the second Test in Adelaide due to a side strain, but Gavaskar questioned the injury's timing in his column, hinting that the fast bowler might have been dropped for comments critical of the Australian batters during a media conference.
