Cameron Green, the dynamic Australian all-rounder, has confirmed that he will be available to bowl in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, putting to rest any confusion about his role in the auction. When the official player list for the IPL 2026 auction was released, one detail caught the cricketing world by surprise: Green was listed as a batter rather than an all-rounder. Speculation immediately ran wild, with some suggesting it was a deliberate move to exploit team purse allocations, while others hinted at possible fitness concerns restricting his bowling.
However, Green has now clarified that the listing as a batter was simply an administrative error on his manager’s part. “I don’t know if my manager will like to hear this, but it was a stuff-up on his end,” Green admitted. “He didn’t mean to list me as a batter. I think he accidentally selected the wrong box. It’s pretty funny how it’s all played out.”
Despite the mix-up, Green emphasised that he is fully prepared and eager to contribute with the ball as well. Known for his ability to swing the ball and deliver crucial overs under pressure, he will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to any IPL franchise. With a maximum base price of INR 2 Crore, Green is tipped to be the most expensive player in this edition of the auction.
Green also revealed his excitement about following the auction. “I’m sure I will be watching, along with a few other guys. It’s always good fun. The auction is a bit of a lottery—where you might end up and who you might play with—so it’s always exciting.”
Turning his attention to international cricket, Green expressed confidence that he will bowl more overs in the remainder of the Ashes series. He bowled just 16 overs across the first two Tests but expects a greater workload in the upcoming matches. “Any overs you can bank up your sleeve in the early games will be beneficial later. I’ll obviously be required more later in the series when everyone’s a bit more tired. Happy to keep it steady for now, but I’m certain my overs will increase,” he said.
With both IPL and international cricket on his agenda, Cameron Green is proving that he remains one of the most versatile and promising talents in world cricket.
