Australia has decided to replace Green with Marnus Labuschagne. The right-handed batsman will fly from Adelaide after Saturday night's Sheffield Shield match to join the Australian team for the three ODIs against India, starting on Sunday, October 19, at Perth Stadium. Labuschagne's return is a significant step, as he was sidelined from the ODI team for over 12 months due to poor form. However, he has recently made a strong comeback, scoring four centuries in five domestic innings.

Injury and Workload Management: Green returned to bowling in competitive cricket after undergoing back surgery last year. He played for Western Australia in the opening Sheffield Shield round against New South Wales in Perth last week and also missed the T20I tour of New Zealand due to this reason.

Green was scheduled to bowl eight overs during the match, but he only bowled four. Cricket Australia's medical staff did not allow Green to bowl two consecutive days. Due to his early dismissal in Western Australia's first innings, he did not have a full day's rest between four-over spells, which is why precautions are being taken to manage his workload.
