Cameron Green Facts
- A child prodigy, Cameron had started playing for the Subiaco-Floreat Cricket Club when he was just 10 years old, in the 2009-10 season in the under-13 league. He had made his WACA (Western Australian Cricket Association) first-grade debut aged just 16.
- While he was still a schoolboy, he had earned a rookie contract with Western Australia ahead of the 2016-17 season of the Sheffield Shield (the premier domestic first-class cricket competition in Australia) after he had averaged 82 runs per innings with the bat and scalped 20 wickets with the ball in 8 games in the under-19 national league.
- He had made his first-class debut in February 2017, for Western Australia, in the Sheffield Shield. He had made an immediate impression, with a spell of 5/24 in that match against Tasmania.
- His first 30 first-class wickets had come at a spectacular average of just 22.53 but stress fractures in his back had severely limited his bowling in the ensuing years. He did not play any first-class cricket in the 2017-18 season and had spent the 2018 winter at Cricket Australia‘s (the governing body for the sport in the country) National Performance Centre in Brisbane.
- He had made his maiden first-class century during the 2019-20 Sheffield Shield season. In that match, he had produced scores of 87 runs not out and 121 runs not out to help his team earn a highly unlikely draw against Queensland. He went on to score 2 more centuries that summer before recording a career-best score of 197 runs, against New South Wales.
- He had made his test match debut in December 2020, against India. Although he was on the selectors’ radar for a few months, his inclusion in the national test team’s playing XI was hastened after he had scored a hundred for Australia A in a warm-up match against the touring Indian team, just before the test series.
- In March 2021, he had scored his first double-century (251 runs) in first-class cricket, in a game against Queensland during the 2020–21 Sheffield Shield season.
- In December 2022, during IPL 2023 auction, he was bought by Mumbai Indians for INR 17.50 crore (or INR 175 million). His base price was INR 2 crore (or INR 20 million).
- In January 2024, it was revealed that Cameron had tested positive for COVID-19.
