Cameron Green gets clearance to resume training before leaving for the tour

Green was cleared to resume training shortly before leaving for the tour and has now started batting and bowling with the harder ball in the nets. The concern for the management would still be the build-up to his workload after a month of action, but before leaving Sydney, head coach Andrew McDonald indicated he would be treated as a specialist batsman.

McDonald told reporters in Alur on Saturday-

“We’ve got a lot of bowling options here – finger spin, wrist spin, left-arm spin, Starsey when he comes back – so we’ll obviously pick bowlers who we think can take 20 wickets, how are we going to split it. Not 100% sure yet.”

Australia will have another full training session in Bengaluru on Sunday before traveling to Nagpur on Monday.
