“I’m really interested to have an Indian T20 League conversation” – Ricky Pointing about Cameron Green
During the post-lunch show of the first Test match on 7 Cricket, Ponting said: “Maybe not here on-air but Keep your phone on tonight. I’m really interested to have an Indian T20 League conversation with you about Cam Green cos I freed up a fair bit of money for the Delhi franchise this year. I wanna low-down on how much he’s gonna be available. The fans will love him.”
However, Cameron Green also shared his excitement about getting a chance in the next edition of the Indian T20 League. While speaking to cricket.com.au, Green said: “Speaking to a lot of guys, especially in the WA (Western Australia) set up about their experiences in the Indian T20 League, they speak so highly of it. They speak about the quality coaches that you are around, the quality players that you are around. They are all the best in the world at their craft. It is a craft that I have not been exposed to too much. I am so open to wanting to learn as much as I can and that is probably one of the best environments to learn in.”
