A product of the Western Australian cricket system, Green’s exceptional talent became evident during his junior years, particularly as a fast bowler. He honed his skills through the pathways provided by Cricket Western Australia and quickly rose through the ranks.
Educated at Christ Church Grammar School, Green balanced his academics with a growing commitment to cricket. His towering height (6’6″) was an advantage early on, and he developed into a fast-medium bowler with considerable bounce and pace.
Domestic Career
Green made his first-class debut for Western Australia in the 2017-18 season of the Sheffield Shield, at just 17 years old. In his debut match against Tasmania, he showcased his potential by taking 5 wickets for 24 runs. This remarkable performance established him as a prodigious young talent.
Over subsequent seasons, Green transformed into a genuine all-rounder. While initially recognized for his bowling, his batting performances began turning heads. His ability to anchor innings with calmness and technical proficiency led him to score several centuries in domestic cricket, including a career-best 251 in a Sheffield Shield match.
He has also been a key player for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League (BBL), contributing as a middle-order batsman and a versatile bowler.
International Career
Cameron Green’s international debut came in December 2020 when he was selected to play for Australia in an ODI series against India. He made an impression with his composure and all-round ability, which prompted his Test debut shortly thereafter, also against India, in December 2020.

As an all-rounder, he has provided balance to the Australian side, offering crucial contributions with both bat and ball. His first Test half-century came in the series against India, underscoring his potential as a future star.

IPL Career
Green was signed by the Mumbai Indians in the 2023 IPL auction for an astonishing AUD 3.15 million, making him one of the most expensive players in IPL history.
