The 30-year-old returned to the IPL even as pace colleagues Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Kane Richardson opted out of the second leg of the lucrative league and remained at home.

바카라�That was my thinking going in,바카라� Hazlewood, who played for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, was quoted as saying by Australian media. 바카라�Conditions, the elements here - it's quite hot - and just getting a run of games of T20 cricket leading into the World Cup. It's been perfect.바카라�

Having been part of CSK바카라�s triumphant campaign, he has now linked up with the national squad in Abu Dhabi.

Hazelwood, who has a fair knowledge of the conditions and slow nature of the pitches in the UAE, has played more T20 games in the past six months than he had in the previous six years, thanks partly to leagues such as the IPL.

바카라�I feel pretty confident in my role now,바카라� he said. 바카라�It바카라�s pretty similar role whether it바카라�s for Chennai or Australia 바카라� a couple (of overs) up front and then a couple at the end. So (I바카라�m) feeling more confident with every situation I바카라�m in.

바카라�You can never dominate T20 cricket as a bowler, I don바카라�t think. There바카라�s just so many different elements. But I'm feeling good about my game.바카라� He played nine games in the second half of the IPL and was one of CSK바카라�s major wicket-takers.

Having missed matches for Delhi Capitals in the IPL바카라�s second leg owing to a calf injury, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis is back bowling in the nets and could feature in the team's World Cup opener against South Africa in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
