Johnson, Hazlewood may miss Tigers tests

Australian pace bowlers Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood could miss next month's test series in Bangladesh so they can rest ahead of a busy summer schedule.

The Sydney Morning Herald Thursday said Cricket Australia was intent on carefully managing their key quicks with a home series against New Zealand and the West Indies to come from November.

Australia also play a one-day series against India and two more tests in New Zealand in the new year with selectors meeting to discuss the tour of Bangladesh within the next few weeks.

"There's some important consideration that needs to be given to managing our fast bowlers, not just in Bangladesh, but the full 10-test season, and that will be part of the discussion," CA's team performance manager Pat Howard told the newspaper.
