IND vs AUS - There is suspense over this player playing in BGT, he may be out of the series

IND vs AUS: The prestigious Test series between India and Australia, now known as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is set to begin on November 22. The eyes of the whole world are on this series. Both the teams are busy with their preparations, especially India, which is now focusing on Australia after playing a series against New Zealand recently. However, even before the start of the series, the Australian team has suffered a major setback, as their star all-rounder Cameron Green may be out of this important series.

Cameron Green's status: likely to be out of Test series

Australia's leading all-rounder Cameron Green's chances of playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy are almost over. According to a Cricinfo report, Green's old back injury has once again taken a serious turn, and he is said to need surgery. Without surgery, the solution to this problem does not seem possible, which has made his chances of being out of the series strong.

Cricket Australia's medical and high performance team is still monitoring Cameron Green's condition, but there seems to be no option to postpone the surgery. This injury had troubled Green earlier as well, and now the situation has become serious.

Injury occurred in the ODI series against England

This back problem of Cameron Green came to the fore during the ODI series played between England and Australia. He was able to play only two matches of that series and then he had to be out of the team due to injury. Since then, he was continuously undergoing rehabilitation and treatment process, but the condition did not improve. Now surgery seems to be the only option, which has made it almost impossible for Green to play in the Test series against India.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: 5 Tests and one pink ball match

A total of 5 Test matches will be played in this series, including one pink ball Test match. This series is very important for both India and Australia, as both the teams remain at the top in Test cricket and the result of this series will also affect the World Test Championship.

Australia's strategy changes due to Green's absence

The Australian team may be forced to change its strategy due to Cameron Green's exit. There is a possibility of a reshuffle in the Australian batting order in his absence. According to a Cricinfo report, Steve Smith can be sent to bat at number four. Smith has previously performed well for Australia at this order, and his experience can prove to be important for the team.

Possible options from Sheffield Shield

The Australian team has a good pool of players in domestic cricket, and some new players may emerge in the Sheffield Shield who can replace Green. However, no concrete option has emerged yet, but the players who perform during this tournament may get a chance in the team.

Conclusion

The Australian team has suffered a major setback due to Cameron Green's injury, but the team has no shortage of experience and talent. Both teams will be at their best in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, and it will be interesting to see how Australia adopts their strategy in the absence of Green.
