'If he’s not bowling, can’t see how he justifies his spot': McGrath questions Green's selection after Australia's T20 WC exit

NEW DELHI: Former Australian great Glenn McGrath has raised questions about all-rounder Cameron Green's selection over Steve Smith in the squad after Australia suffered an embarrassing exit from the T20 World Cup 2026 in the group stage.

Green was preferred on the side due to his all-around abilities, but he failed with the bat as he scored just 24 runs in three matches. Green hit 21 runs in the first match but in the two biggest games was dismissed for a duck and three. He has bowled only seven deliveries in Australia’s three matches so far, which raised questions about his selection.

“, then what the selectors are saying is that he’s a better player than Steve Smith. If he’s not bowling, I just can’t see how he justifies a spot in that side,” McGrath was quoted by the Sunday Morning Herald.
