Green suffered a blow on his head on Friday, the first day of the second warm-up between the touring Indians and Australia A at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Having dismissed Virat Kohli thrice in the three-match ODI series, Josh Hazlewood says he will carry a little bit of psychological advantage into the Test series.
Hazlewood has stated that his team will look to keep the Indian bowlers on the field for a substantial amount of time early in the upcoming Test series.
The Indian skipper is now dismissed by Hazlewood in back-to-back four ODIs.
Hazlewood also talked about the defeat to India on the side's previous tour Down Under, and said that it serves as a motivation for the players to make a strong comeback.
Hazlewood's comments came after Australian pace bowler Kane Richardson on Wednesday pulled out of the limited-overs series against India.
With the shadow of doubt cast over Adelaide hosting opening Australia vs India Test match – owing to fresh COVID-19 outbreak in the city, the Aussie pacer said their track record in Gabba makes it apt for the opener.
Hazlewood, along with his Australian teammates David Warner, Pat Cummins and Steve Smith, played in the IPL and wouldn't be able to feature in the Sheffield Shield to prepare for the Tests.
Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan has said that both the players can be available for selection if they test negative for COVID-19.
The four-match Test series between India and Australia will begin in December 2020.
Hazlewood believes the team has gained momentum going into the three-match ODI series after edging past England in their third and final Twenty20 international.
While the Aussie pacer is eagerly waiting for his debut IPL stint, he did mention that if more cases arise ahead of his departure for the UAE, he and his other IPL-bound teammates will have a word with Cricket Australia.
Hazlewood feels one review would mean that teams would use it only when they are absolutely certain that a wrong decision has been made by the umpire.
Hazlewood, who plays for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, is one of the one few Australian players who turn out in all three formats of the game and is part of the enlarged 26-man squad that was named last week.
Sibley had inadvertently applied saliva on the ball and the home side brought the matter immediately to the umpires, who went ahead and sanitised the ball.
Hazlewood believes Rohit Sharma has a phenomenal record when it comes to white-ball cricket and his batting style is filled with pure class and elegance.
Speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Connected, Australia pacer Hazlewood threw light on bowling to the Team India captain Kohli.
Warner would back tailender Josh Hazlewood to get a fifty, the dashing southpaw.
Earlier, Australia pacer Pat Cummins said that if the situation is such that applying saliva or sweat to a ball can lead to spread of coronavirus, cricket wouldn't be starting in the first place.
Rohit was asked to name some of his favourite bowlers by India's premium fast bowler Mohammed Shami during an Instagram Live session on Saturday.
