IPL 2023: Cameron only to bowl till April 13

Cameron Green, Mumbai Indians (MI)’s largest IPL 2023 auction acquisition, will only be available as a bowling option on April 13. During the Boxing Day Test against South Africa, he suffered an injury that forced him to miss some time.

Green was purchased by MI at the IPL 2023 mega-auction last month for a whopping 17.5 crore. During the event, the youngster was one of the most desired candidates. Despite his lack of professional experience, his ability to change the batting order and generate movement off the surface make him a useful addition.

The all-rounder is an important element of the Australian team, particularly in red-ball cricket. He brings a certain symmetry to the team and has a very busy schedule in the following months, with Australia’s trip to India and the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.

The Times of India reported that Cricket Australia informed the franchisees that Green’s workload would be evaluated during the competition, especially if he participated in all four Tests during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in February and March.
