Cameron Green is set to return to bowling without restrictions as England visits Australia, coinciding with the start of the Sheffield Shield season. He expressed confidence to the media, stating, “First Test should be no restrictions,” which highlights a carefully planned buildup over the past year, aimed to peak for the Ashes series.
Fans can look forward to seeing Green in action at the WACA when Western Australia faces New South Wales in their opening Sheffield Shield match. Having made his comeback during the World Test Championship final against South Africa, Green also played in all three Tests against the West Indies, though he did not bowl during that series. He recently moved to the No. 3 batting position and displayed signs of his potential with scores of 52, 46, and 42 towards the latter part of the series.
Last year was challenging for Green, culminating in a fifth stress fracture. However, he is optimistic for his upcoming performance against NSW, indicating that he would be limited to bowling eight overs in the match. “It’s been a long 12 months, but I’m feeling really good,” he shared, adding that the rehabilitation process has left him feeling stronger, fitter, and with a good bowling action.
Another notable player to watch is Sam Konstas from NSW, who is entering the match with momentum after scoring a century in the India A series. As the season kicks off, both players will be eager to make an impact and showcase their skills on the field.
