Green was an all-rounder for Australia before being injured during the tour of England in September 2024. He had successful stress fracture surgery in October 2024 and was automatically ruled out of any professional cricket for at least six months.
As a result, he missed Australia’s important Test series against India played in November. However, Australia did not feel his absence as the other players stepped up and led their team to a dominant win over the tourists.
Australia chief selector George Bailey is confident of Cameron Green’s availability for the WTC final against South Africa in June. However, he made it clear that Green can only be available as a specialist hitter for now.
“Very hopeful that he will be available as a batsman for the World Test Championship final,” Bailey told reporters.

Australia confirmed their place in the WTC final by defeating India in the fifth Test in Sydney. It will be their second straight WTC final as they are also the defending champions.
Green was a first-choice player in Australia’s Playing XI in Tests before his surgery. He scored a magnificent 174* while batting at No.4 against New Zealand in Wellington while Steve Smith was opening the batting.
However, Smith returned to No.4 in the recent Test series against India. That means Green can slot in at No. 6 whenever he returns. In his absence, Mitchell Marsh played as the only fast bowler in the Playing XI.
However, Marsh was dropped for the final Test in Sydney due to poor form. In his absence, Beau Webster had an outstanding debut and played the role of the all-rounder to perfection by scoring 57 and 39* in both innings.
