In what proves to be a huge blow for the Australian Men's National Cricket Team, the participation of ace Fast-Bowling All-Rounder Cameron Green in the high-intensity Border Gavaskar 2024 Test-Series versus India is looking unlikely.



According to Cricket Australia, the 25-year-old suffered a back-injury which has forced him to miss the remainder of the ongoing five-match One-Day International series versus England.



The Fast-Bowling All-Rounder complained of soreness in his back following Australia?s crushing-defeat in the third One-Day International at Riverside Cricket Ground, Chester-Le-Street. He underwent scans in London after the incident and the results showed that he has suffered a back-injury, ruling him out of the 4th One-Day International at the Lord's Cricket Ground, London.



According to the news report, it's looking really difficult for Green to regain 100% match-fitness and make himself available for selection in time for the highly-important home Test-Series versus India.



A spokesperson of the Aussies revealed that the All-Rounder?s recovery-status would not be known till he flies back home in Perth for further-assessment.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What kind of impact will Cameron Green's absence have on Australia's World Test Championship 2023-25 campaign?</h2>



At present, the Australians are sitting at the second position in the overall standings of the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle.



So, the upcoming Border-Gavaskar 2024 Test-Series gives the Kangaroos a golden-opportunity to dethrone their arch-rivals at the top of the table and significantly boost their hopes of qualifying for the WTC 2023-25 final at the Lord's Cricket Stadium.



In such a situation, Green's absence will prove to be a massive-miss for the Mighty Aussies, as the 25-year-old has proven to be a really valuable-asset on home soil. His ability to get crucial breakthroughs with the ball makes him an irresistible all-round option.

He has performed exceptionally well in the longest format of the game, scoring 302 runs, including an outstanding unbeaten knock of 174* runs versus New Zealand, in four Test-Matches earlier this year.



However, if Green's back-injury rules him out of the upcoming Border Gavaskar series, then the Pat Cummins-led team might be tempted to hand Aaron Hardie his first ever Test-call-up for the India series.



The defending WTC champions are going to host the Indian Cricket Team in a five-match Test-Series, with the opening encounter set to take place at the Optus Cricket Stadium, Perth from the 22nd of November onwards.

NZ vs PAK: The fifth T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played on 26 March at Wellington’s Sky Stadium, which has hosted 22 T20Is—10 won batting first, 12 chasing. The average first-innings score is 153, but high totals like NZ’s 219/6 and successful chases like Australia’s 216 show it can be a batting-friendly ground. Key performers here include Martin Guptill (453 runs) and Ish Sodhi (17 wickets). With chasing slightly favored and spinners often influential, the match could hinge on whether Pakistan’s batters or New Zealand’s home advantage proves decisive.
