Green Confirms Bowling In Sheffield Shield, Unsure About No.3 Role In Ashes
With Steven Smith: Australia all-rounder Cameron Green confirmed that his bowling comeback will most likely be in Sheffield Shield cricket rather than during the ODI or T20I series against India that precedes the Test summer. However, he is uncertain about batting at No. 3 in the upcoming Ashes series.
The 26-year-old has featured at No. 3 in Australia’s last four Tests, filling the role as a batter-only while recovering from back surgery. After a shaky start, he showed improvement with scores of 26, 52, 46, and 42, the latter two particularly valuable on a difficult Kingston pitch.
Despite these contributions, Green admitted in Mackay ahead of the second ODI against South Africa that his spot at No. 3 for the Ashes opener in Perth remains uncertain, with Australia still weighing up their top-order combination.
