Australia has suffered a significant setback as star all-rounder Cameron Green has been ruled out of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to a spine injury. Green has a history of stress fractures, complained of back pain during Australia’s one-day tour of England in September and was immediately sent home.
The Australian team management confirmed that Green will require time to recover, leaving a gap in both their batting and bowling line-up. His absence is particularly impactful given his all-round capabilities and previous performances against India.
Selectors are now faced with the challenge of finding a suitable replacement for Green, who has been a key player for Australia in recent years. The team will need to adapt quickly as they prepare for the highly anticipated series against India, which is known for its competitive nature.
As Australia gears up for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, this injury adds pressure on the remaining players to step up and fill the void left by Green.
