The absence of all-rounder Cameron Green will change Australia's bowling dynamics for the upcoming five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy and may increase spinner Nathan Lyon's workload, according to star pacer Mitchell Starc. Green will undergo surgery to address his back-related troubles which will keep him out of action for at least six months. While Australia have another all-round option in Mitchell Marsh ready to share the workload, Starc admitted that Green's unavailability changes the equation.

"It will always change the dynamic when you take a genuine allrounder like a Cameron Green, or with England when you take a Ben Stokes, out," Starc was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo. "When you have that genuine allrounder who has been part of a group for a while ... you get into a bit of a routine of having that extra bowling option. "I don't know what the dynamic of that line-up is going to be, there is a lot of talk around that opening spot and Mitch (Marsh) bowling as well," he said. Starc said the issue isn't something which Australia have not dealt before.
