For St. Lucia Kings, he has scored 332 runs at a strike rate of 168.53 through nine games. It is disappointing that a player of this ability won’t be at the T20 WC 2022.

Green demonstrated his all-around skill against New Zealand after putting on an outstanding bowling performance against The Chevrons. The 23-year-old had a strike rate of 109.62 while scoring 114 runs in two games and also claimed two wickets. Despite being an excellent batsman and ball player, the kid was unable to make the cut for the team since Aaron Finch and company had several top-notch all-rounders in the mix.
In the T20 league, the flashy cricketer has maintained his form. Although in the three-match T20I series against India, Green was given the responsibility of opening the innings. He displayed exceptional form by hitting 118 runs at an astounding strike-rate of 214.55. Although he might not have qualified for the World Cup, the 23-year-old is Australia’s future star.
