Australia manager Andrew McDonald has already said that Green will not be able to bowl at the moment. Gilchrist told ‘Sen Radio’: “I think the selectors will put him at number six as long as he is fully fit and the finger injury doesn’t affect him.”
Legendary goalkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist believes Australia all-rounder Cameron Green can come on as batsman in the first Test against India from Thursday. Green, 23, is now getting back into shape after undergoing surgery on his right finger, which was broken during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa in December. Australia manager Andrew McDonald has already said that Green will not be able to bowl at the moment. Gilchrist told ‘Sen Radio’: “I think the selectors will put him at number six as long as he is fully fit and the finger injury doesn’t affect him.”
He said: “This team has a lot of faith in each other and is ready to support each other in any situation.” Australian fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will also be unable to play the first Test due to injuries. Scott Boland may have a chance if Green doesn’t bowl. Gilchrist said: “If Boland plays, he will be great for the team.” He is a very aggressive and accurate bowler.” He said: “Starc can’t play is big hit, but the Indian team also don’t have Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah. The competition will be the same.
