Australia head into the final Test after suffering an innings-and-31-run defeat in Gqeberha, which levelled the three-match series at 1-1.
Matt Renshaw, who scored a career-best 190 in Australia's opening Test win in Durban, batted in the middle order during the second match. However, his recent practice against the new ball at Newlands suggests he could return to the opening position, allowing Green to slot in at No. 4 or No. 5, as per a report in CODE Sports. This means Nic Maddinson will be dropped.
Scott Boland likely to be dropped on Nathan Lyon's return despite his heroics
Boland could be an unfortunate casualty if Australia decide to bring Lyon back into the XI. The fast bowler was among Australia's better performers in Gqeberha, taking five wickets for 81 runs in South Africa's first innings.
Scott Boland also showed considerable patience with the bat in Australia's second innings. Coming in during a difficult situation, he scored 40 off 166 deliveries and helped Alex Carey resist South Africa's attack before Australia were bowled out for 295.
Cameron Green wants to bat in middle order
Cameron Green has confirmed that he is fit to return after recovering quicker than expected from his injury. The all-rounder said he was surprised by how well he felt only a few weeks after suffering the abdominal muscle tear.
Cameron Green also made his preference for batting in the middle order clear, although he remains willing to adapt to Australia's requirements.
Cameron Green is also looking forward to facing Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen, who took 12 wickets between them in the second Test.
