Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting commented on where Australia all-rounder Cameron Green stands in his young international career. He has had an under-par Ashes series, which Australia have already clinched after the first three Tests as well. In three Tests, he has scored only 76 runs and has picked up just two wickets as well.

“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 average is just over 30. 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,” Ponting said as per the ICC website.

Even so, Ricky Ponting was emphatic that Cameron Green’s skills continue to set him apart from others. Notably, Green was bought by KKR in the IPL 2026 auction for Rs 25.20 crore, a record sum for an overseas player as well.

“But there is a very complete package there if it all comes together. And we’ve seen him play some pretty remarkable innings. He made an incredible 100 in New Zealand last year. He’s got 100 in India as well, albeit on a very, very flat pitch,” he added.

“Talking to the players, talking to the coaching staff, they absolutely love what he brings to the group. The biggest challenge he has is, he’s just got to find out the right way and right style for him to play, work out what’s going to work for him, and then commit to that and stick to it for a long period of time,” he said.

“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,” Ricky Ponting concluded.
