Australia is gearing up for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, and they’ve got some good news that could really turn the tide in their favor. The team, led by Pat Cummins, is excited to defend their title against South Africa, and there’s a sense of optimism in the air as key players seem to be on the mend from their injuries.
Cameron Green is one of those players making a comeback. He had a spinal operation back in October, which kept him off the field since Australia faced New Zealand in February 2024. After a long rehabilitation process, he’s set to join the team for the WTC final. However, it looks like his bowling comeback will happen during the Ashes series, as reported by Cricket.com.au.
Scott Boland is also in the picture. He’s been impressive and made a strong case for his inclusion in the playing eleven. After struggling with a knee issue that sidelined him, he’s getting ready to get back into action. He’ll start training in Melbourne soon and might even take a short county cricket deal to get himself match-ready for the final at Lord’s Cricket Ground.
Usman Khawaja has recently been in the news for some drama involving Queensland Cricket’s performance head, but he’s bouncing back. He played in the recent Sheffield Shield final, even though his team lost. His experience will be invaluable for the Aussies in the final match, and they’re definitely counting on him to step up.
Then there’s Nathan Lyon. He faced a tough situation with a hip injury during the tour of Sri Lanka. He talked about how he damaged some tissue in his hip and felt pain every time he used it. A lot of fluid built up in that area, making it tricky for him to play. Lyon has been focused on rehabilitation and missed some recent matches in the Shield cricket circuit, but he’s working hard to get back in form.
The final showdown between the reigning champions, Australia, and South Africa is all set to kick off on June 11. Both teams will bring their A-game, and fans are looking forward to an exciting match!
