Selecting Green instead of back-up ’keeper is a risk, says Aaron Finch

Defending champions Australia have taken the risk by picking all-rounder Cameron Green instead of a back-up 'keeper for their Twenty20 World Cup campaign, skipper Aaron Finch said on Friday. Green on Thursday replaced injured reserve wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis in Australia's T20 squad.

"We've taken the risk and not gone with the extra keeper, which obviously had a degree of risk to it, but we feel as though Cam [Green] gives us a little bit better balance to the squad," Finch said in the pre-match press conference.

He, however, said that Green has been roped in as a cover and won't be playing the opening match against New Zealand on Saturday.
