Green returned from back surgery for the World Test Championship final in June as a batter only, before featuring at number three in the subsequent series against the West Indies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His expected resumption of bowling this summer heightens the pressure on Webster\u2019s position in the playing eleven. \"When you're at the top level, you're fighting to hang on to your spot with all the wonderful cricketers around the country, especially a guy like Cameron Green.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"He's obviously going to be back bowling this summer, which is going to put a bit more pressure on my spot at number six as the allrounder. But I welcome it. I feel like I've been in this position before a lot in my career where I've got to score runs to either go to the next level or stay in a team. So it's certainly not unfamiliar.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I'm looking forward to once again showing what I can do at Shield level, and hopefully be lining up in that that first Ashes Test in Perth. It's going to be a massive summer, and I'm sure the team's going change a little bit throughout those five Tests, and I'm just going to do everything I can to make sure I'm there for all five,\" Webster was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Webster, who signed a three-year BBL deal with Hobart Hurricanes, admitted he doesn\u2019t know what way selectors would go. \"We don't know how the selectors are thinking. A lot of the commentators have their own opinion. At the end of the day, it's the three selectors that make the decision on the squad and the first XI, alongside Patty (Cummins, the Test captain).\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I'm looking forward to once again showing what I can do at Shield level, and hopefully be lining up in that that first Ashes Test in Perth.

I felt like I was batting as good as I have done in a number of those innings. I feel like I'm batting really well. And I feel like I've got all the tools to succeed this summer in the Ashes with what England are going to potentially bring.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
