  “Where's the Loyalty?” – Johnson Sparks Fresh Debate Over Franchise vs Country Former Australian fast-bowler Mitchell Johnson has reignited the long-standing debate between national pride and franchise cricket. This comes after Josh Hazlewood’s lackluster performance in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final , following his decision to participate in the IPL 2025 just prior to the match. “If you're not at your best in the biggest Test of the year, and you've just come back from the IPL, questions must be asked,” Johnson wrote in his column. “Where’s the loyalty?” Hazlewood’s WTC Performance: A Missed Opportunity The Australian team was banking on Hazlewood’s red-ball prowess, but what unfolded in the WTC Final was underwhelming.
