Australia’s versatile all-rounder, Cameron Green, is looking forward to his role as the number four batter in the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. Despite initially expecting to open, Green expresses immense excitement about the prospect of batting at number four, emphasizing the opportunity to take his time and settle into his natural game.
Having lost his place in the Test team during the Ashes last year, Green now sees the batting order change as a positive development. He believes the move to number four allows him the time needed to showcase his skills without feeling rushed, contrasting it with his previous experiences batting at number six.
Cameron Green, who boasts an impressive average of 65 as a number four batter for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield, sees this shift as an opportunity to contribute significantly to the team’s success. His time away from the playing eleven provided him with a chance to refine his game and develop into an even more well-rounded player.
Expressing his readiness to take on all-rounder duties in Adelaide, Green notes that he has been consistently contributing both with the bat and the ball for Western Australia. Despite the challenges of not being in the playing eleven, he recognizes the silver lining of having the time to work on his game and make improvements.
Acknowledging the uniqueness of his playing style, Green prefers not to model his approach on other players. He is determined to play to his strengths and embrace his individuality, drawing inspiration from the enjoyment Mitch Marsh finds in his game. Despite the challenge of filling the shoes of a player like Steve Smith, Green remains unfazed and is committed to playing his way.
