Cricket Australia announced on Tuesday (May 13) that Cameron Green will return his return as part of the selection of 15 men from Australia for the final of the World Testing Championship in Lord’s next month and the next tour of the Caribbean. Gren last participated in a trial match in March 2024 after recovering from a rear ailment.
Captain Pat Cummins and his fellow Fast Josh Hazlewood, who lost the Champions Trophy due to injuries before making a competitive return in IPL 2025, join the test team. However, due to a shoulder ailment, Hazlewood lost the final game for his team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and it was also unlikely that the next game began before the League was temporarily suspended.
The lonely travel reserve included in the list, which is otherwise consistent with which he defeated India 3-1 and Sri Lanka 2-0 last summer, is Brendan Doggett, who was voted for the game in the final of Sheffield Shield.
“We are lucky and we hope to have PAT (Cummins), Josh (Hazlewood) and CAM (Green) in the team,” said selectors George Bailey. “The team ended the WTC cycle with an impressive series victory in Sri Lanka after an equally strong summer in the defeat of India for the first time in a decade.
“These series limited a constant performance throughout the two -year cycle and now presents the incredible exciting opportunity to defend the World Testing Championship. It means a lot for the group to get to the final and look very seem to look forward.
Beau Webster has maintained a complete place in the team after a strong start of his career in the test, while Sam Konstas has returned after leaving Sri Lanka early to play for New Wales. However, despite the fact that Todd Murphy is unlikely to be included in the initial alignment until the trip of three tests of the Western Indies, which begins on June 25, Matthew Kuhnemann has been selected ahead of him.
Australia is trying to make history being the first team to win the WTC again.
