SELECT 👉 Hagley Oval commentaryGreen ruled out of Australian ODI series with Ashes now in doubt

Cam Green has been ruled out of Australia’s three-match ODI series against India after suffering minor side soreness.
Green’s absence from the series has been labelled precautionary after his injury was deemed low-grade.
With the Ashes five weeks away, and captain Pat Cummins already racing the clock to be fit for the series against England, Cricket Australia deemed Green’s injury too risky to play through the India ODI series.
"Green will complete a short period of rehabilitation and is tracking to return to play in round three of the Sheffield Shield to continue his preparation for the Ashes," Cricket Australia said in a statement this morning.
Marnus Labuschagne returns to the Australian ODI side in place of Green after four hundreds in his last five innings.
It’s a large vote of confidence in the batsman ahead of the Ashes, with Labuschagne the favourite to return to the Australian batting line-up.
