Blame games are a normal aftermath for any team standing on the losing side, and the star Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood failed to sneak away for the red-eye. After South Africa defeated Australia by 5 wickets to clinch the World Test Championship final. Meanwhile, former Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson hurled on Joshie for participating in the Indian Premier League, especially with the Test Championship knocking on the door. Notably, Hazlewood has been suffering from multiple injuries. He even had to settle down at the bench during most of the Border-Gavaskar Series, letting Scott Boland on the field. Writing for West Australian, Johnson shed light on Hazlewood's injury proneness and wrote, "We've seen concerns about Hazlewood's fitness in recent years, and his decision to prioritise returning to the delayed Indian Premier League over his national team preparations raised eyebrows." Hazlewood had been a key bowler for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The side won their first trophy after on their 18th year of the league, with being a guard in the death overs alongside the Indian prodigy Bhuvneshwar Kumar. According to the statistics, he has 22 wickets, his best throughout IPL. He managed an economy of 8.77 and has an average of 17.54 in 12 matches he played.

Australia's bowling quartet—Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, and Nathan Lyon—is the most respected and feared quartet in the Test fraternity right now. However, Johnson indicates to end the era and not wait for the Ashes anymore. He further wrote: "Our successful 'big four' bowling attack of Mitchell Starc, Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon can't be taken for granted as a lock going forward either. If veteran players are sticking around just for the Ashes as a send-off, it does beg the question of whether that's the right mindset. It's crucial that we embrace the future and build confidence in selecting our next Test players." He added, "Players on the fringe such as Sam Konstas, Josh Inglis and Scott Boland, despite being 36, have a different mentality. They're eager to prove themselves every time they get a chance." For him, it's high time to groom the young generation comprising Sam Konstas, Jos Inglis, and even the 36-year-old Scotty Boland. Trying to be diplomatic with his words, Johnson wrote, "Players on the fringe such as Sam Konstas, Josh Inglis and Scott Boland, despite being 36, have a different mentality. They're eager to prove themselves every time they get a chance. "I'm not being overly critical of an ageing team which has achieved plenty together. Our established players including the senior bowling quartet, Usman Khawaja, (Steve) Smith and (Marnus) Labuschagne have achieved some great things. It's essential to consider when the right time is to make some tough calls."
