The India vs Australia ODI series has come up with a key development, with all-rounder Cameron Green ruled out of the three-match ODI series due to side soreness. The 26-year-old, who had just returned to bowling duties after missing the T20Is in New Zealand, suffered a minor setback during Western Australia’s Sheffield Shield opener last week.
Precaution for Green
Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed that Green’s omission is precautionary, with hopes of him returning in time for the next Shield fixture starting October 28 against South Australia.
Green’s workload management had already been a point of discussion within Australian circles, given his importance ahead of the Ashes. He bowled only four overs in the Shield match, restricted by medical staff, and was unlikely to bowl much in the India series either. For now, the selectors have opted for rest and rehabilitation, ensuring the all-rounder doesn’t aggravate his injury ahead of the Test summer. However, his absence leaves a hole in Australia’s middle order and raises questions about how much he’ll be able to bowl in the coming months, something that could even influence his IPL 2026 auction value too.
Labuschagne’s timely return to ODIs
With Green sidelined, Marnus Labuschagne has been called back into the ODI squad. The right-hander will fly from Adelaide after the Sheffield Shield clash to join the team in Perth before Sunday’s opening ODI. For Labuschagne, this comeback arrives at just the right time.
The 30-year-old had been dropped earlier this year following inconsistent ODI returns, with just 241 runs in his last 12 innings. But his recent domestic form has been nothing short of sensational. In three innings in this One-Day Cup for Queensland, Labuschagne has amassed 237 runs at an average of 79, including two centuries scored. Following that, he has mustered 160 and 159 the two times he has batted in the ongoing Sheffield Shield.
His incredible form with the bat convinced selectors to bring him back into the national setup, hoping his stability can offset Green’s absence. Australia, though, face a few more selection headaches with Pat Cummins, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, and Adam Zampa all missing at least parts of the series.
