New Delhi: Australia star batter Steve Smith announced on Tuesday that Cameron Green is unlikely to play the 1st Test in Nagpur against India on Thursday due to a finger injury.

“He hasn’t faced even the fast bowlers so he’s very unlikely to play the 1st Test,” Smith said in the press conference.

“(Josh) Hazelwood injury is a big loss for us, but Lance (Morris) is a good bowler, (Scott) Boland has been good. His natural length will suit these kind of pitches. Lance obviously has a pace in the air,” he added.
