ENG vs AUS Ashes 2023: Why is Cameron Green Not Playing England vs Australia 3rd Test?

During the toss, it was revealed that Cameron Green is not part of the Australia playing XI for the ENG vs AUS Ashes 2023 3rd Test match. Aussie captain Pat Cummins revealed that the all-rounder has a slight strain due to which he misses out. It is also a fact that Green has struggled to deliver both with the bat and ball so far in the two Test matches against England. He has scored a total of 84 runs and picked up as many as three wickets in the 2 Tests. On the other hand, Australia have brought back senior all-rounder Mitchell Marsh in the side who will be playing his first Test match since Ashes 2019.

“We would have had a bowl as well but it’s not a big deal. Cam Green has a slight strain so Mitch Marsh comes in for his first Test in a while. Three changes for us. He is playing his 5th Test and he was a star for us in India he is pumped [on Todd Murphy]. He is huge, just the standard he has set, averaging almost 60, hopefully it will be a special week for us. Would not expect anything less coming here [on the hostile reception expected here]. The last time was a fantastic Test here in 2019 and the first two have been pretty good. Expecting the same here,” said Australia captain Pat Cummins during the toss.
