Australian all-rounder Cameron Green was selected by Kolkata Knight Riders during the IPL 2026 Auction in Dubai. Green, who was initially listed as a batter, confirmed that he will be available to bowl in the tournament despite the listing error. The 26-year-old admitted that his manager mistakenly categorized him as a batter instead of an all-rounder. Green joked about the mix-up but assured fans that he will be able to contribute with both bat and ball.

With an impressive IPL record, Green has scored 707 runs at a strike rate of 153.69 in two previous seasons with Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He has also taken 16 wickets with his right-arm pace, showcasing his versatility and value as an all-rounder in the T20 format.

Green’s addition to the Kolkata Knight Riders squad adds depth and balance to their lineup. Fans can expect to see him make a significant impact on the field with his batting and bowling skills. The Australian cricketer is eager to showcase his talent and help his team achieve success in the upcoming IPL season.
