Former India player R Ashwin suggested that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) should be allowed to reduce star all-rounder Cameron Green’s salary if he does not meet their bowling demands. The ₹25.20 crore signing comes in with huge expectations with both bat and ball as well.

Meanwhile, R Ashwin also explained that if a scenario arises where KKR cannot use Cameron Green for his four-over quota, they should deduct money from his pay cheque.

“There is a question about Cameron Green. Will Cricket Australia allow him to bowl all four overs? That is also a possibility. In this scenario, the Australian board is saying to Green that he can play in the IPL, but Test cricket is very important for us, so you can play only this much of workload,” R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.

“IPL teams also should have an opportunity where if he bowls only two overs, then they should deduct 2 crores. Why not? If he is not able to deliver his four overs, then you should have the right to cut their money, right? When you came into the IPL auction, the expectation was that you will bowl all four overs, and also bat. If there is no restriction on bowling, then great, but if there is restriction the team should be allowed to cut from the contract money,” he shared again.

R Ashwin also shared how such parameters can hamper a franchise, especially after they have invested a huge sum in the player.

“Imagine if you are Shah Rukh Khan, and you have paid 25 crores for a player. But then he comes and says that, ‘Sir, I will bowl only one over today, or bowl only 10 balls a day’. How will you feel?” R Ashwin concluded.
