Mitchell Starc Acknowledges Major Impact of Cameron Green’s Absence for Australia

Australia will be without star all-rounder Cameron Green for the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy due to injuries, as he is undergoing back surgery. His absence will be felt significantly in the team, especially in the bowling unit, where his all-round capabilities had offered essential support to pace bowlers Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood.

In the statement, Mitchell Starc said that:

It will always change the dynamic when you take a genuine allrounder like a Cameron Green, or with England when you take a Ben Stokes out. When you have that genuine allrounder who has been part of a group for a while… you get into a bit of a routine of having that extra bowling option.

Cameron Green’s absence will create a significant gap for the Australian team. However, Mitchell Marsh has been a key player who can step up in this situation. Additionally, Michael Neser has shown his skills in domestic cricket and may earn an opportunity in the upcoming series. Together, they will look to fill the void left by Green’s injury.
