Green has been out of competitive cricket since September last year due to a stress fracture in the back needing surgical intervention in Christchurch, New Zealand. The all-rounder has only recently returned to full fitness and revealed he could have turned out for Western Australia if they had qualified for the Sheffield Shield final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m going really well. I would have been ready for a Shield final if that happened ... I was raring to go for that, but it wasn\u2019t meant to be. I\u2019m going pretty well and I\u2019m all fit and healthy. We\u2019ve obviously got an ultra-successful top five, six, seven, so it\u2019s never easy, but that\u2019s what you want it to be in a Test team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cYou want guys to challenge, take that position for themselves, and that\u2019s what\u2019s been done. I think they\u2019ve had another ultra-successful summer and I was so happy watching, but at the same time you want to get back in the team, so we will just wait to see what happens,\u201d said Green to reporters in Perth, on the sidelines of Cricket Australia announcing the 2025\/26 home summer schedule.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Green, who will play five matches for Gloucestershire in his county stint, also hoped the back surgery he underwent last year is the last time of him going under the knife as a professional cricketer. \"The surgery has been incredible. I think I was probably off (my) legs for about two weeks. After that I've been doing gym work for the last four or five months, been running for the last two months, and been batting for the last month. It's been pretty seamless. So, yeah, pretty happy I got it done.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
