Australia could make changes in second Test; Cam Green yet prove fitness, says coach McDonald

Australia’s second Test against South Africa in Gqeberha could see tactical adjustments despite their victory in Durban, with head coach Andrew McDonald emphasizing flexibility in the batting lineup. Rather than rigid opener or middle-order roles, selectors remain open to reshuffling based on conditions and opposition, a strategy McDonald described as adaptable rather than formulaic.

Meanwhile, all-rounder Cameron Green, sidelined in Durban with an abdominal strain, has yet to fully prove his fitness ahead of the next match, with McDonald noting he still has physical benchmarks to meet in the coming days. On the recovery front, wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis has resumed batting practice in nets, showing early promise after his broken finger injury during the series.
