Australian all-rounder Cameron Green will miss the upcoming five-Test series against India after undergoing surgery for a stress fracture in his lumbar spine. The injury, which could sideline him for up to six months, is a significant blow to Australia’s hopes of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Former Australian captain Mark Taylor believes Cameron Green’s back injury could pave the way for Cameron Bancroft’s return to the Test team for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. Taylor suggests that Bancroft, a strong contender for the opening slot, could partner with Usman Khawaja to form the Australian opening pair.
Australia’s coach, Andrew McDonald, has hinted that the top six batters who finished the last Test season are likely to start the upcoming five-match series against India. However, he remains uncertain about the exact batting order, particularly Steve Smith’s position after his recent stint as an opener.
Cameron Green starred with both bat and ball, leading Australia to a series sweep over Scotland in the third T20. Green’s unbeaten 62 and three wickets proved crucial for Australia’s victory.
Australia dominated the second T20I against Scotland, securing a comfortable victory. Scotland’s batting faltered despite a promising start, with Cameron Green’s bowling proving particularly effective. Richie Berrington and George Munsey were the key contributors for Scotland, but their efforts were not enough to overcome Australia’s strong performance.
