Cameron Green ruled out of Sydney Test with broken finger

Cameron Green will not bowl in South Africa’s second innings at the MCG and will miss the Sydney Test and the KFC BBL to recover in time for the India tour.

Cameron Green has broken a bone in his finger :-

Australia’s injury worries in the Boxing Day Test – and beyond – have deepened with confirmation on Wednesday morning that Cameron Green has broken a bone in his finger.

Cameron Green has a small fracture to his right index finger, a Cricket Australia spokesperson confirmed, and while he will be able to bat again if required, will not bowl in South Africa’s second innings.

Green doubtful to play in the KFC BBL :-

The 23-year-old Cameron Green has also been ruled out of the Sydney Test, and would be doubtful to play in the KFC BBL where he had been expected to play for the Perth Scorchers with the allrounder facing “a period of recovery leading into the Qantas Tour of India”.

Green struck by a fierce lifting delivery from Proteas speedster Anrich Nortje on day two. He forced to retire hurt with blood coming from the knuckle of the damaged finger.

He could be pushing time to get the digit right for that four-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy campaign where the allrounder will be a crucial cog if Australia want to field two specialist spinners.

Mitchell Starc is carrying serious finger injuries :-

Mitchell Starc is carrying serious finger injuries on their respective bowling hands. Starc, who hurt his left middle finger while fielding on day one, could find it difficult to grip the ball. If he was not able to bowl, it would place a heavy burden on captain Pat Cummins, fellow quick Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon when South Africa bat again in Melbourne.
