# Cummins tells Green to attack Bangladesh in Test series 2026-08-13T00:01:22+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Pat Cummins has urged Cameron Green to bat aggressively against Bangladesh in the first Test in Darwin after the all-rounder managed just 24.42 per innings in the Ashes. Cummins confirmed Green will keep his number five spot, saying the 6'8" batter is 'quite an intimidating sight when he gets going'. Beau Webster, who averages 41 and scored an unbeaten 71 in Sydney, will bat at seven. Bangladesh, playing its first Test in Australia since 2003, is without fast bowlers Nahid Rana, Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam. Josh Hazlewood returns to Cummins’s attack alongside Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Webster. Australia won the toss and chose to bat. Openers Jake Weatherald and Travis Head were both out early to Hasan Mahmud. ## Coverage - rediff.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Australia, Bangladesh, Cameron Green, Cricket, Pat Cummins Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/cummins-urges-green-to-attack-bangladesh/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
