Cameron Green, the seam-bowling all-rounder, has been ruled out of Australia\u2019s upcoming three-match ODI series against India after suffering a side injury during training this week. The all-rounder\u2019s absence will be a major setback for the hosts. In-form batter Marnus Labuschagne has been called up as his replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Cricket Australia spokesperson confirmed this news and said, \u201cGreen will complete a short period of rehabilitation and is tracking to return to play in round three of the Sheffield Shield to continue his preparation for the Ashes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement also confirmed that the injury is a minor one and Green is expected to return to domestic games later this month before the first Ashes Test against England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incidentally, last year, Green underwent a back surgery. When the all-rounder returned to the Australian set-up, he was mostly picked for his batting. However, last week, he did take 1 for 13 in a Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Labuschagne\u2019s inclusion will give Australia solid batting depth, and his experience will help against a strong Indian side. The 31-year-old has played 66 ODI matches and scored 1871 runs at an average of 34.64. He has also picked 10 wickets at an economy rate of 6.65.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
