Cameron Green to Undergo Back Surgery, Misses India Test Series

The Australian all-rounder opts for surgery to address a complex spinal issue, sidelining him for six months.

  • Cameron Green's decision for surgery comes after a stress fracture diagnosis in his lumbar spine during the ODI series in England.
  • The surgery will be conducted by New Zealand specialists with experience in treating elite pace bowlers.
  • Green's condition involves a unique defect adjacent to the fracture, prompting the surgical intervention for long-term benefits.
  • His absence will significantly impact Australia's strategy against India, a team that has won the last four series between them.
  • The recovery period is expected to last six months, ruling Green out of the upcoming home series and potentially affecting team selection.
