MELBOURNE, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Australia fast ‌bowler Josh Hazlewood expects to be ready for the start of the ‌Twenty20 World Cup next month after sitting out their Ashes series victory against ‌England through injuries, the 36-year-old said.

The right-arm quick missed Australia's 4-1 Ashes victory with ahamstring strain. He subsequently suffered Achilles soreness in his rehabilitation, but was confident he would be ready for Australia's tournament ‍opener against Ireland in Colombo on February 11.
