Cameron Green has confirmed that he will be bowling in the IPL 2026, despite being listed as a batter in the auction due to a mistake made by his manager. The 26-year-old, who missed the 2025 season due to back surgery, has since returned to international cricket as an allrounder for Australia in the Ashes series.
Despite being entered into the auction as a batter with a base price of Rs. 2 crore, Green is expected to be one of the most expensive buys in Abu Dhabi. Speculations suggest that he could potentially break the Rs 27 crore record set by Rishabh Pant in the previous year’s auction. The Kolkata Knight Riders, with the largest purse, are favored to secure his services, as Green is set to be one of the first players to go under the hammer.
Green explained the mix-up that led to him being listed as a batter, stating that it was a mistake on his manager’s part. He clarified that he is ready to bowl and that he has been cleared to do so. Despite the confusion, Green is looking forward to showcasing his all-round abilities in the upcoming IPL season.
The news was published on December 16, 2025, and fans are eagerly anticipating Green’s performance in the IPL 2026 as both a batsman and a bowler.
