Australian cricketer Cameron Green has clarified that he will be available to bowl in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), after a registration error listed him as a batter for the mini auction.
The 26-year-old missed the 2025 IPL season while recovering from back surgery and returned to international cricket in June as a specialist batter. However, he has now received clearance to bowl and has been actively bowling in the ongoing Ashes series against England.
Green explained the mix-up: “There was a stuff-up on my manager’s end. He didn’t mean to say ‘batter’; he accidentally selected the wrong box. It’s been pretty funny how it’s played out.”
The all-rounder, who previously played for Mumbai Indians (2023) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (2024), is entering the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore, currently listed under the batters’ category instead of all-rounders. The IPL auction will be held in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
“I’m sure I will be watching, with a few other guys. The auction is always a bit of a lottery, but fun to watch,” Green added.
