Australia coach Andrew McDonald said Cameron Green still has fitness checks to complete after the abdominal injury that kept him out of the Durban Test. Josh Inglis has resumed batting following a finger injury, with further sessions planned to assess his readiness. Neither return is confirmed. Green would play only as a batter if selected.
