McDonald Says Green’s Return To Form In Tests Is ‘only A Matter Of Time’
West Indies World Cup: Australia’s team management has thrown its full support behind Cameron Green despite a disappointing Ashes campaign at home, with head coach Andrew McDonald emphasising that the allrounder remains central to the nation’s long-term Test plans.
Green struggled to make an impact during the series against England, managing modest returns of 24.42 with the bat and 70.75 with the ball. His underwhelming performances were further highlighted by the emergence of Beau Webster, who impressed in limited opportunities with a quick 71 runs and three wickets in his lone appearance.
However, McDonald made it clear that Green’s place in the side is not under immediate threat. Speaking to SEN Radio, the coach expressed confidence in the 25-year-old’s ability to deliver at the highest level in due course.
