Test hopeful Cameron Green suffered concussion after being struck on the head in a tour game against India Friday as Australia’s preparations for the four-Test series against the touring side suffered another jolt at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The 21-year old all-rounder, playing for Australia A, was bowling to Jasprit Bumrah, who smashed a drive straight through Green’s fingers and struck him on the right side of the head.
Green was attended to by the medical team before he walked off the field.
He was later withdrawn from the match with batsman Patrick Rowe named as the concussion replacement.

Green is the second Australia Test squad member to suffer a head knock during a warm-up match against India.
Opener Will Pucovski retired hurt in Australia A’s tour match Tuesday after being hit on the helmet by a bouncer.
Bumrah’s highest first-class score of 55 helped the touring side to 194 all out on the first day one of the day/night match, with India resting skipper Virat Kohli and top order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara.
The first Test begins in Adelaide Thursday.
