Cameron Green Clarifies IPL Auction Registration Error, Says He’s Fit to Bowl

Cameron Green stated his manager accidentally registered him as a ‘batter’ for the IPL auction.

Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has clarified he will be available to bowl in IPL 2026. This comes despite being registered as a ‘batter’ for the upcoming auction due to a managerial error.

Green is expected to be a top draw at the auction with his all-round skills. He explained the incorrect registration was an accidental mistake by his manager.

Green confirmed his bowling fitness ahead of the auction. “I’ll be good to bowl,” Green said before Australia’s training session in Adelaide on Sunday morning. “I don’t know if my manager would like to hear this, but there was a stuff-up on his end. He didn’t mean to say ‘batter’. I think he accidentally selected the wrong box. It was pretty funny how it’s all played out, but it was actually a stuff-up on his end,” Green said.

The 25-year-old has managed a careful return from spinal surgery in 2024. He initially came back as a specialist batter before gradually resuming bowling.

He was previously bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.50 crore in 2023 and later traded to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Kolkata Knight Riders, with a large purse, are seen as potential suitors this time. He could challenge for the auction’s highest price.

Green said he would be watching the auction. “I’m sure I will be [watching], with a few other guys. They’re always good fun to watch. It’s a bit of a lottery where you might go, but also who might be in your team, so it’s always been fun to watch,” Green concluded.
