Cameron Green initially emerged as a bowler thanks to his tall height. But constant back injuries prompted him to focus on batting.
Thus far, the Australian player has excelled well as a batting all-rounder in international cricket. Following his success on the international stage, Green set the IPL auction 2023 on fire.
Teams went on a bidding war over the Australian all-rounder, and in the end, Mumbai Indians (MI) had the last laugh. After a season with MI, Green moved to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2024.
Cameron Green will miss the 2025 auction due to a lower-back stress fracture that required surgery. Despite strong performances for Mumbai Indians in 2023 and Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2024, Green has decided to focus on his recovery and return to full fitness. With his sights set on future international commitments, sitting out the auction is a sensible choice to avoid further injury.
Here you can check out Cameron Green’s IPL career stats, records, and salary in every season.
Early Debut in IPL Career
Cameron Green made his debut in the IPL on April 2, 2023. He played for Mumbai Indians against his future team, Royal Challengers Bangalore (now Bengaluru).

Green took some time to settle in the first few matches, but then he slammed four consecutive 30-plus knocks. During MI’s last league game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Australian all-rounder brought up his maiden IPL century.
Green rounded up his debut season with 452 runs at a strike rate of 160.28 and six wickets in 16 matches.

Want to know which team Cameron Green will play for in IPL 2026?
If not for his lower back injury, Cameron Green would have been RCB’s top retention ahead of IPL 2024. But his injury has pushed Green out of cricketing action for a while.
So his participation in IPL 2026 was in question. Thus the franchise didn’t retain the Australian all-rounder. And Green has also not registered for the IPL 2026 auction due to his injury.
