The third and final Test match in Sydney against South Africa has already been abandoned by both Cameron Green and Mitchell Starc
Cameron Green, a young Australian all-rounder
will need surgery to fix a fractured right index finger
But doctors are optimistic that the 23-year-old can heal in time to be selected for the Border-Gavaskar series
which starts on February 9 in India
But because he also had a finger injury while fielding during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa
Pace spearhead Mitchell Starc might be sidelined for a lengthier period of time and will need to demonstrate his readiness for the four-Test series in India quickly
The two have already been eliminated from the third and final Test in Sydney against South Africa
