Overview

  • Green said he aims to resume bowling in October Sheffield Shield matches for Western Australia to prepare for the Ashes.
  • He has operated as a specialist batter since lumbar surgery and has been gradually increasing his bowling workloads in training.
  • He is expected to prioritise Shield cricket over the preceding white-ball fixtures against New Zealand and India to rebuild overs in a controlled setting.
  • His spot at No. 3 in the Test order remains unsettled as selectors consider top‑six combinations.
  • The Ashes begin on Nov. 21 in Perth, where his availability as a fifth bowling option would strengthen Australia.
