Australia expects their pace bowlers to be a point of difference against Sri Lanka, with Mitchell Starc ready to deliver the same performance that helped him star in 2016.
Australia considers whether to partner Jon Holland or Mitchell Swepson with Nathan Lyon, as the focus in Galle remains on spin.
The hosts are expected to go in with a spin-laden attack, using five tweakers in a recent ODI and often picking two seamers in Asia.
But coach Andrew McDonald wants Australia to do it their own way, not tempted to discard Green's ability as an all-rounder to find an extra spin-bowling option.
McDonald said that we feel as though our fast-bowling is a point of difference.
People are talking about spin, spin, spin. Mitch Starc had a fantastic impact last time, and Pat Cummins will have an impact as well.
We probably have to do it slightly differently to our opponent as well. We want to be us. Australia's quicks have not been able to bowl against batters in training in Galle, with the run ups not long enough in the nets and centre practice wickets not up for batting on.
The ball reverse swing could be made like it did in 2016 with the square around the dry wicket well watered in recent days.
The visitors will hope a breeze off the Indian Ocean will have an effect while the practice pitches on the edge of the square can still provide abrasive turf that helps the ball scuff up and reverse faster.
Starc is easily Australia's best exponent of reverse-swing art, having got the ball early in 2016 as he took 24 wickets at 15.16.
The blueprint is the same, he said.
It has similar characteristics to what we have just come from Pakistan, with the conditions playing a part with reverse swing.
Since 2016 there has been a lot of cricket but I don't think my role or game plan has changed dramatically since then.
There have been a number of technical things that have probably gone full circle in the last six years. I'm more experienced and older. Starc has been cleared to return from a cut finger for the Test after three weeks out and has no concerns over rhythm after finding a way to perform well without bulk cricket during the Pandemic.
Starc said that it's funny because I've always felt like big gaps hurt my rhythm.
I needed that time during the season.
Maybe it's been less of a need the older I've got and more comfortable I've been in my mindset.
