Career
Domestic career
Cameron Green’s cricketing journey began at the tender age of 10, playing for his local club in Subiaco, Perth. His talent blossomed quickly, propelling him to a first-grade debut at just 16. By then, he was already turning heads with an impressive average of 82 runs per innings and 20 wickets in the under-19s national league, securing him a rookie contract with Western Australia.
Green’s official debut came in 2017, where he etched his name in history by becoming the youngest player to take a five-wicket haul in the prestigious Sheffield Shield, claiming 5 for 24 on debut. This early feat showcased his potential as a bowling all-rounder.
However, injuries presented a hurdle, prompting Green to shift his focus towards honing his batting prowess. This shift proved pivotal, as he delivered a breakthrough performance in the 2019-20 Sheffield Shield season, smashing impressive scores of 87* and 121* against Queensland.
These early years laid the foundation for Green’s remarkable rise, transforming him from a promising youngster into a batting force to be reckoned with. His journey, however, is just beginning, with exciting chapters waiting to unfold.
IPL Career
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green, born in 1999, has already carved his name in the IPL record books. Despite just one season under his belt, the 25-year-old boasts impressive stats and recently (again) fetched a whopping Rs 17.5 Cr ahead of IPL 2024 auction, switching allegiances from Mumbai to Bangalore.
Green’s IPL debut in 2023 saw him bat with authority, amassing 452 runs across 16 matches at a stellar average of 50.22 for Mumbai Indians (MI). His aggressive approach included a scorching century and two well-compiled fifties, with his highest score standing at an unbeaten 100. 40 boundaries and 22 towering sixes further underline his explosive batting style.
While his last outing for Mumbai Indians wasn’t a personal high (30 runs off 20 balls), the potential this Western Australian all-rounder possesses has clearly attracted big attention. Now donning the colors of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Green’s journey in the IPL takes an exciting turn, and cricket fans eagerly await to see him unleash his power in a new setting.
International career
Cameron Green’s international career has been a whirlwind of debuts, milestones, and crucial contributions. In October 2020, he burst onto the scene with a call-up to both the limited-overs and Test squads against India. His ODI debut came soon after, and in the lead-up to the Tests, he even notched a century for Australia A. By December 2020, he had donned the baggy green, marking his Test debut against India.
Green’s talent wasn’t limited to one format. In February 2022, he earned a spot in the T20I squad for the Pakistan tour, making his debut later that year. His bowling prowess shone in August 2022 when he claimed his first ODI five-wicket haul against Zimbabwe. The same year, his composure under pressure earned him Player of the Match honors in an ODI against New Zealand, where he chased down a tough target with an unbeaten 89. His ability to score quickly was further evident in the T20I series against India, where he slammed two half-centuries.
Green’s adaptability didn’t go unnoticed. When injury struck Josh Inglis in 2022, Green stepped in for the T20 World Cup, showcasing his all-round capabilities on the global stage. In December 2022, he etched his name in Test history with his maiden five-wicket haul during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa.
But 2023 was when Green truly arrived. During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India, he broke his Test century duck with a well-compiled 114 in Ahmedabad. He was also part of the victorious Australian team in the World Test Championship Final against India, solidifying his place in the Test squad.
Green’s meteoric rise continued with a call-up to the 2023 ODI World Cup. While his appearances were limited, his contribution in the crucial win against England with a gritty 47 showcased his potential as a match-winner.
Cameron Green’s international journey is far from over. With his talent, adaptability, and growing experience, he is poised to become a cornerstone of Australian cricket across all formats in the years to come.
Test Career
In his young Test career spanning 26 matches, Cameron Green has amassed 1,139 runs with a respectable average of 33. While the average suggests room for growth, his ability to find the boundary 120 times (fours) and clear it 7 times (sixes) showcases his explosive potential.
His most recent outing in January 2024 against West Indies saw him contribute 8 runs in a limited time, reminding us of the ups and downs inherent in Test cricket. However, Green’s journey is far from over. With his talent and dedication, he is steadily building his Test career, and fans await the next innings where he unleashes his full potential.
ODI Career
Cameron Green has carved out a solid space in Australia’s ODI squad, amassing 552 runs across 25 matches so far. His average of 39 reflects a consistent presence at the crease, while 45 fours and 12 sixes highlight his ability to both build partnerships and accelerate the scoring rate.
In his most recent ODI in February 2024 at Sydney Cricket Ground, Green chipped in with 33 runs off 41 balls, demonstrating his adaptability and valuable contributions, even if headlines might go to others. As Green continues to refine his game, expect his impact in ODIs to only grow, making him a crucial player for Australia in the format.
T20I Career
Cameron Green’s T20I career, with 8 matches under his belt so far, presents an exciting glimpse of his potential. He’s amassed 139 runs at an average of 17, a number still finding its groove. However, his knack for finding the boundary with 17 fours and 8 sixes hints at his explosive capabilities in the fast-paced format.
While his most recent outing against Afghanistan in November 2022 saw him contribute a brief 3 runs, T20I cricket thrives on individual brilliance. As Green continues to hone his skills and adapt to the format’s demands, expect him to unleash his big-hitting potential more consistently, making him a valuable asset for Australia in the shortest format.
Additional Info
Australian cricket star Cameron Green in December 2023 bravely revealed a hidden battle he’s faced since birth: chronic kidney disease. Diagnosed prenatally, Green’s condition initially carried a daunting prognosis, with doctors estimating his life expectancy at just 12 years.
Despite the irreversible nature of the disease, Green has defied expectations with unwavering determination. Now 24 and a key player in the national team, he manages his stage two condition through careful diet, hydration, and awareness.
Living with chronic kidney disease presents unique challenges for an athlete. Green must balance his protein intake, crucial for athletic performance, with the needs of his kidneys. He also faces an increased risk of cramping, as seen during an ODI against New Zealand where the impact of his condition became clear.
