Green’s Injury Presents Chance For Bancroft's Test Recall, Says Taylor
If Sam Konstas: Former Australia captain Mark Taylor believes the lower back stress fracture injury to all-rounder Cameron Green presents a chance for Cameron Bancroft to earn a recall into the Test team for the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, starting on November 22 in Perth.
Reports have suggested that Green, who was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his lower back and was ruled mid-way of Australia's ODI series against England, has been presented with a choice of surgery or rehab.
Going under the knife would mean Green would be out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Australia’s subsequent tour of Sri Lanka. It would also mean Australia would need a new number six batter and rejig their batting order, as Steve Smith is expected to be back batting at number four.
