Overview

  • Green will make his first bowling appearance since October 2024 spinal surgery in Western Australia’s Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales at the WACA starting Saturday.
  • He said he expects to have no bowling restrictions by the first Ashes Test against England on November 21 in Perth.
  • His workload will build through as many as three Shield games and Australia’s home ODIs against India in the coming weeks.
  • He is set to bat at No.4 for WA in the opener and is targeting a return to No.3 for Australia during the Ashes.
  • Team plans include potentially front‑ending his overs and leaning on fellow all-rounder Beau Webster to help manage the bowling load.
