In a blow to Australia Cricket, Cameron Green has suffered an elbow injury. He has retired hurt after Hardik Pandya bowled a 146kph short ball that hit his arm during GT vs MI IPL 2023 Qualifier 2. With WTC Final 2023 just 10 days away, he walked off the field. However, he later came out to bat again. He looked in touch before he was cleaned up by Joshua Little.

Kevin Pietersen reckoned on air that the injury was worse than a bruise and Green was taken off. It is still not clear whether he will come out and bat again. At the moment, he is sitting at the dugout with a strapped left arm.
“This might be a little bit worse than a bruise,” Kevin Pietersen said on air.
Cameron Green is a crucial cog in Australia’s Test team. Without Green, Australia suffered during Border Gavaskar Trophy. As Green is a seam-bowling all-rounder, it helps Australia bring in an additional batter or a spinner to the side.
Furthermore, the young Australian has had injury troubles of late. He missed the BBL with a finger injury and the first 2 Tests against India. With WTC Final 2023 just 10 days away, Australia will be concerned.
Australia WTC Final Squad: Pat Cummins (Captain), Steve Smith (VC), David Warner, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Matthew Renshaw, Marcus Harris, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh, Scott Boland, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, and Todd Murphy
