IPL 2026 Auction: Why Cameron Green under batter's bracket despite being an all-rounder? Australian reveals ‘stuff-up’

Cameron Green on Sunday cleared the air on why he has been registered as a batter despite being an all-rounder in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, scheduled to take place on December 16. The Australian, who is currently a part of the Ashes against England, has been named in the first set that will go under the hammer.

Green entered the auction with a base price of ₹2 crore. Breaking his silence on the matter, Green clarified that he will be available to bowl during IPL 2026 and his listing in the batter's category is due to a mistake made by his manager.

“I’ll be good to bowl,” Green told reporters in Adelaide on Sunday. “I don’t know if my manager would like to hear this, but there was a stuff-up on his end. He didn’t mean to say ‘batter’. I think he accidentally selected the wrong box. It was pretty funny how it’s all played out, but it was actually a stuff-up on his end,” added Green, who has prior IPL experience.

With both franchises entering the IPL 2026 auction having highest purse in their pockets, it won't be surprising if Green becomes the most expensive in this year's auction.
