Cameron Green was earmarked as an international cricket from very early. Contracted to Western Australia as a schoolboy, he took 5 for 24 on his first-class debut against Tasmania in February 2017 as a 17-year-old. He was selected initially for his bowling given his 200cm frame and his ability to deliver fast outswing but was plagued by stress fractures. However, throughout his junior days with Subiaco-Floreat and WA’s junior teams, his technically sound batting and an unquenchable thirst for scoring runs saw him emerge as a genuine allrounder of rare ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green didn’t play any first-class cricket in 2017-18 and spent the 2018 winter at Cricket Australia’s National Performance Centre in Brisbane. His game went to another level in 2019-20 after another stress fracture in his lower back forced him to stop bowling again. He made his maiden first-class century, producing scores of 87* and 121* to force an extraordinary draw against Queensland at the Gabba. He would score two more centuries that summer before posting a career-best 197 from 438 balls against New South Wales in October 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That performance led to his first international call-up as he was named in Australia’s ODI and T20I squads to face a touring India side which was followed by a Test debut against the same opposition. He made half-centuries in each of his first four series then claimed a maiden five-wicket haul against South Africa the MCG in late 2022 – during a game where he badly broke his finger. Shortly after returning to side in India he made a maiden Test hundred in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By then, his cross-format skills had caught the eye after a pair of dazzling T20I fifties in India led to a bidding war in the 2022 IPL <\/a>auction where Green fetched AU$3.15 million from Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
