Sports: India and Australia will be facing each other in a highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy in late 2024 and early 2025. India will be travelling to Australia for the five-match series as they look to retain the trophy for the fourth consecutive time. 

Ahead of the series, Australia have been hit with an injury worry to star all-rounder Cameron Green. According to ESPNCricinfo, Green is in doubt for the Test series against the Men in Blue after suffering a back injury in the ongoing ODI series against England. 

Green ruled out of England Tour

Meanwhile, Green has been ruled out of the ODI series against England. He played the first and third ODI of the five-match series and was not picked for the other two games. Green was rested from the second game to manage his workload but he was not picked for the fourth match after he picked the issue in the third game. Green had reported soreness after the third game in Chester-le-Street, where he scored 45 and picked two wickets in the match. 

The early scans had confirmed a back injury, which forced his return to Perth. Cricket Australia has stated that the complete extent of the injury will be known when the all-rounder returns to Perth. 

Green will now be racing against time to attain full fitness for the high-octane series against India. Green was part of Australia's World Test Championship 2023 final-winning team, which got the better of India in the summit clash in London.
