Australia left without a wicketkeeper after captain resigns over a sexting incident

Sydney — Australia all-rounder Cameron Green says Alex Carey’s experience in one-day cricket will help him make the adjustment to Test cricket when, as looks likely, he replaces Tim Paine for the opening Ashes clash in Brisbane next week.

Cricket Australia confirmed on Wednesday that Josh Inglis has returned to Western Australia, leaving Carey, who has played 83 short-format internationals, set to make his Test debut against England at the Gabba next Wednesday. “The experience that he brings, he’s got a really good record in one-day cricket, he’s really held that position down well. Both the guys they could have gone for are world class.”

Green said repeated stress fractures over the past four years have limited his bowling and he is confident he can make a more meaningful contribution with the ball in hand this season.
