Star Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has had a gradual return to cricket since his major back injury. He was available for Australia from the World Test Championship (WTC) final as a pure batter. However, with the Ashes less than 50 days away, Green has started to gradually increase his workload to be available as a proper all-rounder in the marquee series. 

Green will be playing three Sheffield Shield games before the first Ashes Test, and he believes he will be ready to deliver as an all-rounder. If he bats in the top order then the workload on his bowling will be slightly less.
