MELBOURNE, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Australia will rely on their full complement of specialist pace bowlers to set the tone at the World Cup rather than mix and match with all-rounders, Josh Hazlewood said.
Hazlewood said Australia were likely to revert to type when captain Cummins and Starc rejoined the squad for the final warm-up series against India in the lead-up to the World Cup, which starts next month.
"With Mitch and Pat coming in hopefully for the India series before the World Cup, there's still a lot of games to go, no doubt the quicks will play a huge part not only here but at the World Cup as well."
Hazlewood said the South Africa series had been a great opportunity to build depth and create competition in the squad.
"We're ticking along nicely, I think, and it's just about keeping building towards the World Cup."
