PERTH (Reuters) -Reeling from injuries to captain Pat Cummins and paceman Josh Hazlewood, Australia have received a boost ahead of the first Ashes test in Perth starting Friday, with Cameron Green telling reporters he is ready to bowl free of any restrictions.

The 26-year-old fast-bowling all-rounder was set back by a side strain last month having overcome a serious 2024 back injury which had precluded him from bowling at test level.
