Green followed the same recovery process as followed by James Pattinson, Jason Behrendorff, Ben Dwarshuis, New Zealand pacers Shane Bond and Matt Henry which required having screws and a titanium cable fused into the lower back. The process is done to provide stability to the stress fracture and acts as a precautionary measure as well.

It could be a matter of touch and go for Green for the IPL where he plies his trade for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as of now and the World Test Championship (WTC) final in June if Australia reach the final. The 25-year-old might even go on to miss Australia's Test tour of West Indies in June-July next year.

Green has so far played 28 Tests, 28 ODIs and 13 T20Is for India.
