Cameron Green is an Australian international cricketer known for combining powerful right-handed batting with right-arm fast-medium bowling. Born on 3 June 1999 in Subiaco, Western Australia, he developed through the Western Australian cricket system before making his senior international debut in 2020. His height, athletic fielding and ability to contribute in multiple disciplines have made him a valuable all-round option for Australia and professional T20 teams. Green’s career has included major Sheffield Shield performances, Test centuries, World Cup cricket and high-profile Indian Premier League contracts. His development has also been shaped by recurring back stress fractures, which affected his bowling workload and required surgery in 2024. His career is particularly notable for how he rebuilt his role as an all-rounder after that setback.

Who Is Cameron Green? Australia’s Batting All-Rounder
Cameron Donald Green represents Australia in international cricket and Western Australia in domestic competitions. He bats in the middle order and offers right-arm pace, giving selectors flexibility when balancing the batting order and bowling attack.
Green attracted attention well before his international debut. His first-class breakthrough came as a teenager, when he took five wickets in his first Sheffield Shield appearance. Although back stress fractures subsequently restricted his bowling, he continued to develop his batting and became one of Western Australia’s most productive red-ball players.
His defining Test batting performance came in Wellington in February 2024, when he scored an unbeaten 174 against New Zealand. The innings demonstrated his ability to build a substantial Test score under pressure while batting in a reshaped Australian top order.
Green’s profile also extends beyond international cricket. His IPL career has involved Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders, with the 2026 auction bringing a major financial milestone.
Cameron Green’s Early Life, Family and Cricket Development
Birthplace and childhood
Green was born in Subiaco, a suburb of Perth in Western Australia, on 3 June 1999. He developed within the Western Australian cricket pathway, representing local and age-group cricket before progressing to senior domestic competition.
His early selection history indicates that Australian cricket administrators recognised his potential during his teenage years. By 17, he was already playing Sheffield Shield cricket against experienced senior professionals.
Family background and parents
Cameron’s family background is a common subject of biographical searches, but personal details should be distinguished from information confirmed by authoritative sources.
- Parents: Their names and occupations should not be published without reliable, attributable confirmation.
- Siblings: A complete, independently verified public account of his siblings was not established in the sources used for this draft.
- Spouse or partner: Do not assume a relationship status or publish a partner’s identity based on unsourced biography websites.
- Family influence: Green’s documented progression through Western Australian cricket provides a clearer factual account of his development than unsupported stories about his private life.
These details are intentionally not filled with speculation.
Schooling, academy and early coaches
Green’s cricket development is closely associated with Western Australia’s state pathway and the local club system. The Western Australian Cricket Association identifies Subiaco-Floreat as his local club.
A complete school-by-school chronology, the names of his earliest coaches and his educational qualifications require additional primary-source confirmation. They should not be inferred from the club or state association he represented.
Cameron Green’s Domestic Career: Western Australia and the Sheffield Shield
Western Australia was central to Green’s rise. His performances in the Sheffield Shield showed that he could contribute with both bat and ball, first as a promising fast bowler and then as a developing top-order or middle-order batter.
First-class debut at 17
Green made his first-class debut for Western Australia in February 2017 against Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield. He took five wickets in the match, an exceptional start for a teenager entering senior domestic cricket.
The performance highlighted his pace-bowling potential. His early first-class wickets came at a strong average, but back stress fractures later restricted his bowling and encouraged a greater focus on batting.
Breakthrough with the bat: Sheffield Shield 2019–20
Green’s batting became increasingly important during the 2019–20 Sheffield Shield season. He scored 699 runs at an average of 63.54, including three centuries.
That season changed the way his potential was assessed. Rather than being viewed primarily as a young fast bowler who could bat, he was increasingly considered a genuine batting all-rounder.
A major 2020–21 domestic season
Green continued his progression in 2020–21, scoring 922 Sheffield Shield runs at an average of 76.83, with three centuries. He also made useful contributions in the domestic one-day competition.
| Sheffield Shield season | Runs | Average | Centuries |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019–20 | 699 | 63.54 | 3 |
| 2020–21 | 922 | 76.83 | 3 |
These two seasons provided substantial evidence for his elevation to international cricket. His output was particularly important because it came while his bowling workload was being managed.
Domestic role and development
Green’s domestic career illustrates three connected stages:
- Early stage: A young fast bowler who made an immediate impact in first-class cricket.
- Batting breakthrough: Strong Sheffield Shield seasons established him as a run-scoring option as well as a bowler.
- International preparation: Consistent domestic performances strengthened his case for a regular role in Australia’s Test and limited-overs sides.

Cameron Green’s International Career for Australia
Green made his senior international debut in 2020 and went on to represent Australia in Test, ODI and T20I cricket. His selection reflected both his domestic batting output and his ability to provide additional pace bowling.
Test debut against India
Green made his Test debut against India at Adelaide Oval on 17 December 2020, during Australia’s 2020–21 home series.
The opportunity followed his outstanding domestic performances. His combination of height, seam bowling and developing middle-order batting offered Australia a different balance from a specialist batter or bowler.
Test cricket has remained the format in which Green’s ability to bat for long periods and produce substantial innings has been most evident.
Test statistics: Explore Cameron Green's complete Test stats
ODI debut against India
Green made his One Day International debut against India at Manuka Oval in Canberra on 2 December 2020.
His ODI role combines middle-order batting with seam bowling and fielding. His highest recorded ODI score in the cited player databases is 118, against South Africa in August 2025.
ODI statistics: See Cameron Green's complete ODI stats
T20 International debut against Pakistan
Green made his T20I debut against Pakistan at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 5 April 2022.
His short-format batting has demonstrated the ability to score rapidly, while his bowling gives Australia an additional pace option. However, his exact responsibilities vary with the team combination and the balance of specialist bowlers.

Cameron Green’s IPL Career: Mumbai Indians, RCB and KKR
Green’s IPL career has made him one of the more prominent Australian all-rounders in the franchise market. His batting power and potential to contribute overs have influenced how teams assess his value.
Mumbai Indians: IPL 2023
Green joined Mumbai Indians for the 2023 IPL season. He made an immediate impression with his all-round contributions and scored his maiden IPL century during the tournament.
His unbeaten 100 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 21 May 2023 helped Mumbai secure a crucial win in the race for the playoffs. The innings showed how he could combine boundary hitting with the ability to bat through a substantial portion of a T20 innings.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: IPL 2024
Green represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2024 after Mumbai Indians traded him to the franchise. He was used as a flexible all-rounder, with his batting position and bowling workload influenced by team requirements.
The move gave him another prominent role in a competitive IPL squad and expanded his experience in different team environments.
Kolkata Knight Riders: IPL 2026 auction
Green became a major talking point at the 2026 IPL auction. Cricbuzz’s auction tracker records Kolkata Knight Riders securing him for ₹25.20 crore, after a bidding contest that included Chennai Super Kings.
| Auction detail | Information |
|---|---|
| IPL season | 2026 |
| Team | Kolkata Knight Riders |
| Recorded auction price | ₹25.20 crore |
| Base price | ₹2 crore |
| Reported bidding rival | Chennai Super Kings |
The auction price reflects the market’s valuation of his all-round potential, not a guarantee of performance or a verified estimate of his personal wealth.
What makes Green valuable in T20 cricket?
Green offers a combination of attributes that franchise teams seek:
- A tall right-handed batter capable of attacking pace and spin.
- A fast-medium bowling option when fully fit and available.
- Flexibility in the batting order.
- Athletic fielding and the ability to contribute in multiple phases of a match.
His back injury history is relevant to how teams manage him. Bowling availability, workload and match fitness can affect the balance between his batting and bowling responsibilities.

Cameron Green’s Highest Test Score: 174 Not Out Against New Zealand
Green’s unbeaten 174 against New Zealand in Wellington in February 2024 is one of the defining innings of his international career.
The innings came during the first Test at Basin Reserve, when Australia needed a substantial contribution from the middle order. Green remained unbeaten on 174, helping Australia post a competitive first-innings total and reinforcing his ability to bat for long periods at Test level.
Performance snapshot
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Format | Test |
| Opposition | New Zealand |
| Venue | Basin Reserve, Wellington |
| Date | February 2024 |
| Score | 174 not out |
| Significance | Green’s highest Test score in the cited records |
The innings was particularly meaningful because Green had been moved into a reshaped batting order. Australia had adjusted its top order following David Warner’s Test retirement, and Green’s place at No. 4 created an opportunity to demonstrate his batting against a strong New Zealand attack.
His performance showed that he could offer more than lower-order hitting: he could anchor an innings and turn a difficult batting assignment into a major individual score.
Cameron Green’s ODI Century Against South Africa
Green’s highest ODI score in the cited records is 118 against South Africa in August 2025. The century strengthened his record as a limited-overs batter and provided another example of his ability to convert an innings into a major score.
His ODI career is important to Australia’s long-term balance because he can contribute as a batter without necessarily occupying a specialist bowling position. His selection value is greatest when his fitness allows the team to use both skills.
The precise match conditions, ball count, boundary breakdown and result should be verified against the official scorecard before those details are added to a publication-ready match report.
Cameron Green’s Records and Career Milestones
Green’s principal milestones reflect his development from a teenage domestic bowler into an international batting all-rounder.
| Milestone | Detail |
|---|---|
| First-class debut | Western Australia vs Tasmania, February 2017 |
| Early bowling breakthrough | Five wickets in his first Sheffield Shield appearance |
| Sheffield Shield batting breakthrough | 699 runs in 2019–20 |
| Outstanding domestic season | 922 Sheffield Shield runs in 2020–21 |
| Test debut | 17 December 2020 |
| ODI debut | 2 December 2020 |
| T20I debut | 5 April 2022 |
| Highest Test score | 174 not out vs New Zealand |
| Highest ODI score | 118 vs South Africa |
| IPL century | Unbeaten 100 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023 |
| IPL auction milestone | ₹25.20 crore, Kolkata Knight Riders, 2026 |
Green’s records should be understood in context. His value is not captured by batting totals alone: his availability as a fast-medium bowler, his fielding and the balance he creates in a playing XI also matter.
Cameron Green’s Injury History and Return to Bowling
Green’s back has been a significant factor in his career. Stress fractures limited his bowling during his early development, even as his batting improved. A further back stress fracture in 2024 led him to undergo surgery and miss Australia’s 2024–25 home Test summer.
The recovery required a gradual return rather than an immediate resumption of full all-round duties.
The 2024 back surgery
The injury ruled Green out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India in 2024–25. The absence mattered because Australia had been using him as a middle-order batter and an additional seam-bowling option.
His recovery involved a period in which he focused on batting and then built up his bowling workload through domestic cricket.
Returning through county and domestic cricket
Green returned to competitive cricket in England in 2025, playing for Gloucestershire in the County Championship as a batter. He subsequently used Sheffield Shield cricket to build up his bowling loads.
The progression was important for Australia’s selection planning. A player recovering from a stress fracture needs to demonstrate that he can tolerate the workload expected of a Test all-rounder, not merely that he can bat.
His return to the Australian Test setup for the 2025 Ashes period marked a significant stage in that rehabilitation process. His subsequent role should always be described using the latest official team and medical updates.
Cameron Green’s Playing Style and Strengths
Green’s cricket is built around a rare physical profile for an all-rounder: he is approximately 198 cm tall and combines right-handed batting with right-arm fast-medium bowling.
Batting strengths
- Reach and height: His stature can help him access scoring areas and play with a high contact point.
- Middle-order flexibility: He can bat in positions where Australia needs either consolidation or acceleration.
- Long-format temperament: His 174 not out against New Zealand demonstrates his ability to build a major Test innings.
- T20 power: His IPL century and high scoring rate in short formats show that he can also attack.
Bowling and fielding
Green’s bowling adds balance when his fitness permits a full workload. Earlier in his career, he showed the ability to take wickets with pace and bounce, including five wickets in his first Sheffield Shield appearance.
Back stress fractures have made workload management central to his bowling development. His contribution should therefore be judged season by season, with particular attention to the number of overs he is cleared to bowl.
