Green clutched his stomach after attempting to hook a delivery from Corbin Bosch, having already been struck in the groin earlier in the over. The injury comes after shoulder soreness had already delayed his return to bowling. He was expected to bowl in the match but was unable to do so. Attempts to bowl at the innings break were aborted after a few half-pace deliveries under the watch of the team physio, and he spent the rest of the game off the field.
Australia won the match on rain calculations, but the injury is a concern ahead of the Test series. White-ball captain Mitch Marsh said Green had been locked in to bowl a few overs. "He had a nice build and it would've been nice for him to have a bowl, but it wasn't meant to be, and I'm sure that it won't affect his prep too much, hopefully," Marsh said.
Australia were also monitoring Test opener Matt Renshaw after he suffered a blow to the wrist while fielding, forcing him off for treatment.
