This will be the dream-crushing for Cricket Australia who was hoping the beat India in the upcoming series ahead of the World Test Championship Final 2025 at the Lords.
According to the spokesperson of the CA, ”Recovery time is anticipated to be around six months. The decision to proceed to surgery is with Cameron’s long-term future as an all-rounder in mind.”
Green was under-diagnosed during the England vs Australia ODI series in speculation that he would return by the time of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-2025. But now he decided to go with surgery as it would help prolong his career as an all-rounder.
To replace Green in the upcoming Champion’s Trophy 2025, Marcus Stoinis will return to the ODI team while Steve Smith will be back in the Test squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
