Steve Smith to drop down Australian batter order and Cameron Green to miss summer after back surgery

ABC  

Australia are set to name a new opening batter for the five-Test series against India and move Steve Smith down the order to replace injured all-rounder Cameron Green. Australia vs India Test series 1st Test: November 22-26 2nd Test: December 6-10 3rd Test: December 14-18 4th Test: December 26-30 5th Test: January 3-7 That seemingly left selectors with two options for the home series against India and subsequent tour of Sri Lanka: Either name a new all-rounder or push Smith down the order to replace Green. Bailey expected Mitch Marsh would be ready to help ease pressure on the big three quicks this summer after the decision to replace Green with a specialist opener seemingly left Australia short a pace option. Marsh's medium pace has been used sparingly since the all-rounder returned to the Test set-up last year, the burly West Australian bowling only 38 overs across his last seven Tests.
