Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin feels that Australia cameron green The upcoming auction for IPL 2026 will likely attract many bids in the absence of Andre Russell and Glenn Maxwell. While Russell retired from the IPL as a player, Maxwell recently withdrew his name from the auction pool through an official statement on his social media account.
According to Ashwin, apart from Green, all-rounders like Liam Livingstone can also attract teams to go after players like him. Let us tell you that Moeen Ali has also announced that he will not be a part of IPL 2026.
“Ask him [Cameron Green] To book 4-5 acres of land near Sydney Harbour. This time he has entered the auction and there is no Andre Russell or Glenn Maxwell there. CSK fans used to keep him (Maxwell) at number 6 and were waiting for him but now that opportunity is gone. Liam Livingstone and Cameron Green have a big jackpot in the auction,” Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel.
Talking about Green's IPL career, he has represented Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2023 and 2024 respectively. He was not a part of the mega auction ahead of IPL 2025 due to a back injury. Green has scored 707 runs at a strike rate of 153.69 and taken 16 wickets at an economy rate of 9.07.

Green has also recently started bowling. He is currently part of Australia's Ashes squad in the five-match Test series against England.
