Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said that it is tough to fully assess all-rounder Cameron Green as an international player because of his inconsistency and injuries.
“It’s actually quite hard to get a gauge on him yet as an international player. He averages under 30 in Australia now. His career averages just over 30,” Ponting said while speaking on the ICC Review. “He’s made two Test match hundreds in 30-odd Test matches. He’s had back surgery, and his bowling pace is probably not quite what it was 12 months ago.”
The right-handed batter made his Test debut on December 17, 2020. Since then he has played 35 Test matches, scoring 1641 runs at an average of 32.82, including two centuries and seven fifties. He has also taken 37 wickets. In the ongoing Ashes, he scored 76 in three matches at an average of 19.
Ponting also suggested Green to keep things simple. “Apparently, he’s a very deep thinker about his own game and likes to tinker with things a lot. But if I had some advice for him, it’d be just keep things as simple as you can, think about what you’ve done at domestic cricket and take your domestic game to the Test match and back it in for a while,” he added.
Green was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 25.2 Crore ahead of IPL 2026.
