Australia Coach McDonald Feels Shifting Batting Order May Help In Accommodating Green In Tests
ODI World Cup: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald believes fast-bowling all-rounder Cameron Green can be accommodated in the Test team by seeing a shuffle in the batting order by being one of the best six batters in the team. Green last played a Test match during the Ashes at Manchester in July this year, following which Mitchell Marsh was preferred.
After coming home post playing three matches in Australia’s ODI World Cup triumph in India, Green will be pushing for a spot in the Test side by playing in Western Australia's ongoing Sheffield Shield match against Queensland at the Gabba and in the Prime Minister's XI four-day game against a visiting Pakistan team in Canberra.
“What does Cam Green’s future look like in the Test team? Is it a matter of waiting for Mitch to finish or could there be another spot that opens up over time? He has batted at six for most of his Test cricket, but he has been a fantastic number four for WA and averages close to 50 in Shield cricket.”
