T20 World Cup: Australia are through to the T20 World Cup semi finals after defeating India by nine runs, while India face a nervous wait to progress
Cricket Australia 2024 news, Test series vs India : Cameron Green out with stress fracture, injury update, surgery Australia ’s worst fears have been confirmed with news on Monday that Cameron Green will have back surgery this week, and likely sit on the sidelines for six months.
A statement from CA on Monday revealed that Green has a stress fracture of his lumbar spine, adding that a “unique defect” near the fracture has made matters worse.Cameron Green of Australia.

If incumbent opener Steve Smith returns to his preferred No. 4 position as expected, it opens the door for national selectors to call upon a specialist opener, with Cameron Bancroft, Marcus Harris and Matthew Renshaw among the leading candidates. However, if national selectors wanted a like-for-like replacement for Green — someone who can provide assistance to Australia’s pace attack during the five-Test campaign — then all-rounder Aaron Hardie and Beau Webster come into contention.
