Hazlewood calls for Australia to play more T20s

It's not like India plays many T20 matches. In fact India is among the lowest T20 playing nations.
Every One day tournament should be preceded or succeeded by a short 1 or 3 match T20 tournament.
It's not like a country can visit a nation just for a T20 tournament unline the other formats.
I believe Aus is playing enough T20s

Hazelwood got a hat trick in a LOSS

Chap know his squad is weak  ;D

Personally, I think Hazlewood is spot on in his comments. Over the last year, Australia have played just seven T20 matches. The only teams that have played fewer T20 matches over this period are P.N.G (6) and West Indies (2). For comparison, India have played 15. Zimbabwe have played the most T20 matches (20).

It is no surprise that both England (also played just seven T20 matches) and Australia have scheduled so few T20 matches over the last 12 months as they play the most Test matches. More Test matches equal fewer T20 matches.

Yes, believe it or not T20 is serious business now. Almost one decade since the first T20 WC and the format has seriously matured well, requiring different tactics and different kinds of players. Australia should ride on the success of the BBL and ensure that their international stars get as much T20 experience as the other countries. They are strong contenders for this trophy in my opinion.

My concerns about Australia is their bowling attack, which is seriously thin. With Starc injured and Johnson retired, they have no mean, aggressive pace bowler, and their spinners are raw and untested. Their is no doubting that their batting is absolutely stacked - and that can cover up a lot of cracks - however, we should not forget that Australia struggled against spin during the last T20 World Cup in Bangladesh.

Teams won't be intimidated by Australia's bowling, although the Aussies will no doubt back themselves to chase down any target put on the board - as they did in the recent series against South Africa.

I may have mistaken regarding the statistics. I thought teams like India, Aus were playing almost equal no of T20 matches.
You are spot on with your post though. Aus and Eng play the highest no of test matches thanks to ashes so that contribute to the fewer no of t20 matches. 

For AUS and ENG .... test matches remain paramount and that's good for that format of the game with so many T/20 leagues currently

I think that the test match situation remains paramount to how many T20 games teams like Australia and England play. While living in England I can only speak as an English cricket fan, but I wouldn't want the ECB to turn round and say we're going to start playing 10 more T20 games a year, but because of that we're scratching 4 tests off the calender for example.

Countries like England and Austraila have been holding on to the notion that test cricket is the ultimate version of the sport. However it's time that they wake up and smell the roses and realise that the future generation, will surely gravitate more towards the fast paced excitement of the T20 over the tea party like atmosphere of test cricket. Therefore, T20 cricket will soon become the main drawing card in the sport of cricket. In fact, it probably is already.
