Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood have showcased remarkable durability, playing in Australia's last nine Tests dating back to the Ashes tour

The workload for Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood could increase with Green sidelined for the entire summer due to a stress fracture in his back. While Green's bowling was cautiously utilized in his Test career, he was expected to play a larger role against India

Mitchell Marsh might be called upon to fill Green's void, but he has only bowled four overs since a hamstring injury during the IPL

If selectors opt for a like-for-like replacement for Green, Aaron Hardie and Beau Webster are contenders

Australia's management has carefully regulated the workloads of their fast bowlers ahead of the India series

Cummins missed the entire white-ball tour of England to rest from bowling and is unlikely to play a Shield game before the India series. Instead, he will prepare by leading Australia in their ODI series against Pakistan. Hazlewood and Starc are expected to play at least one Shield match before the Pakistan series
