Australia allrounder Cameron Green has suffered a fractured finger meaning he will not bowl again in the Boxing Day Test and has been ruled out of Sydney Test.
It was confirmed on Wednesday morning, ahead of day three at the MCG, that scans on Green’s right index finger had revealed a small fracture. He was struck on the finger by Anrich Nortje while batting late on day two and was forced to retire hurt.
Australia said that Green is available to bat again in the match but he won’t bowl. His ability to grip the bat will not be as impeded in the same way as his ability to grip and the release the ball while bowling with his right index finger.
