When England arrive on Australian shores, Cameron Green will be bowling again. No restrictions. Ready to fire.

At least that's what he's declared as the Sheffield Shield season starts.

"First Test should be no restrictions," he told media on Friday.

"That's the whole plan of the last year. I think that's why it's been such a slow build up so that you're peaking by the time the Ashes comes around."

All eyes will be on Green at the WACA, as he steps foot on the ground to play against NSW in Western Australia's first Sheffield Shield match.

Green returned for Australia in the World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord's.

He played all three Tests against the West Indies too but did not bowl.

Having moved to No.3 in the batting order, Green took time to become accustomed to the role but showed shades of his best late in the series with scores of 52, 46 and 42.

However, after suffering his fifth stress fracture last year, Green is expected to bowl again in the NSW clash. He will be restricted to just eight overs for the match.

"It's been a long 12 months, but feeling really good," he said.

"The body's in a good place. It's been a really good rehab journey. I feel stronger, fitter and my action feels good."

Another player looking to impress in the first class match will be Sam Konstas, who will be in NSW's lineup.

Konstas is coming off a century in the India A series.
