Batting all-rounder Cameron Green was on Friday forced the leave the field after being struck in the head while bowling on the opening day of the three-day warm-up match between Australia 'A' and India 'A'.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In his second spell of the day-night tour game against India 'A' at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Green was hit when tailender Jasprit Bumrah smashed a fierce straight drive at the Australian who was unable to react in time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The ball burst through the 21-year-old's hands and hit him on the right side of the head. Mohammed Siraj, who was at the non-striker's end, dropped his bat and immediately rushed to check on Green.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Green, who had scored a century in the first practice game at the Drummoyne Oval, sat on the pitch before being attended by members of Australia A medical team. He left the field for further assessment in the dressing room after being examined for a couple of minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It's the second head blow suffered by an Australia 'A' player in as many games. During the drawn first practice game, right-handed opener Will Pucovski was hit on the helmet by a ferocious bouncer by Kartik Tyagi and was diagnosed with a mild concussion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Green returned with figures of 1\/20 in the 6.1 overs he bowled. He scalped the wicket of Shubman Gill as the tourists -- minus captain Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara -- collapsed to 123\/9 before Bumrah alongside Siraj stitched a 71-run partnership to take India 'A' to 194 all out. Bumrah remained unbeaten on 55 while Siraj contributed with 22.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The four-Test series between Australia and India is slated to start with a pink-ball fixture at the Adelaide Oval from December 17.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2020\/12\/aus-a-vs-ind-a,-2nd-warm-up-game-australias-cameron-green-hit-on-the-head-while-bowling-.jpg", "alt_img": "image for cricket cameron green hit on the head ", "alt_title": "Cameron Green ", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Aus A vs Ind A, 2nd Warm-Up Game: Australia's Cameron Green Hit On The Head While Bowling On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Batting all-rounder Cameron Green was on Friday forced the leave the field after being struck in the head while bowling on the opening day of the three-day warm-up match between Australia 'A' and India 'A'.\r\n\r\n", "seo_keywords": "India tour of Australia 2020-21, Jasprit Bumrah, Cameron Green", "tag": "", "tagging": "India tour of Australia 2020-21,Jasprit Bumrah,Cameron Green,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "aus-a-vs-ind-a-2nd-warm-up-game-australias-cameron-green-hit-on-the-head-while-bowling", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2525", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2020-12-11 14:02:54", "updated": "2020-12-11 14:03:41", "img_from": "Cameron Green (Image Source - BCCI Twitter)", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "Aus A vs Ind A, Australia, India, Cameron Green, Warm-up game, Jasprit Bumrah ", "livescore_text": "", "livescore_link": "", "btn_text": "", "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2020-12-11 14:02:54", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2020-12-11 14:02:54", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/aus-a-vs-ind-a-2nd-warm-up-game-australias-cameron-green-hit-on-the-head-while-bowling-68392" }
