Green, 25, was ruled out of the 2024\/25 Australian summer after suffering a recurrence of a lower back stress fracture for the fifth time during Australia\u2019s white-ball tour of the United Kingdom. He then underwent surgery in October 2024, where he was operated upon by renowned orthopaedic spine surgeons Grahame Inglis and Rowan Schouten in Christchurch, New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Wednesday, Green posted a video of himself on Instagram, where he was running and training in the outfield of the WACA Ground in his hometown, Perth. \"Very hopeful he will be available as a batsman for the World Test Championship final,\" Bailey told reporters after announcing Australia\u2019s 16-member squad for the Sri Lanka Test tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With seam-bowling all-rounder Mitchell Marsh omitted from the Test team after a lean run in the 3-1 series win over India, Bailey was quizzed if his time in the longer format was over, which he categorically denied.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI don\u2019t necessarily see it as the end of the road for him. I think Mitch at his best and with a longer-term view of potentially what the Ashes may look like and what England may throw at us, I think he\u2019s got a skill set that suits there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cNot taking away from the fact that at some stage clearly we\u2019re going to have the return of Cameron Green as well into the team. But unlike some, (the selectors) are probably not as glass half empty around where that leaves Mitch,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pace-bowling all-rounder Beau Webster, who had a memorable Test debut with scores of 57 and 39 not out, apart from taking a wicket and grabbing two sharp catches in Sydney, will be in line to shoulder a heavy bowling workload in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
