Playing style

Batting

Cameron Green is a right-handed middle-order batsman renowned for his solid defensive technique, characterized by a compact setup and minimal unnecessary movement at the crease. Standing at 198 cm, his height provides a significant advantage in handling bounce, allowing him to play pull shots with authority and reach deliveries that shorter batsmen might struggle with, while maintaining balance on both front and back feet. His front-foot drives are precise and elegant, often executed with a straight bat to punish full-length deliveries, contributing to an organized and stylish approach that pressures bowlers through reach and timing. Green's batting evolved notably after his maiden first-class double century of 251 against in March 2021, transitioning from a predominantly accumulative, youth-level style focused on survival to a more aggressive strokeplay that incorporates calculated risks. This shift was evident in his increased scoring rate across formats, with strike rates hovering around 48 and ODI rates exceeding 89, reflecting greater intent without compromising his foundational solidity. Early in his career, Green faced challenges with short-pitched deliveries, occasionally resulting in awkward dismissals due to his height exposing him to extra bounce, but he addressed this through targeted sessions, becoming unflustered against bouncers by 2022. A key strength lies in Green's versatility against both pace and spin; he reads the line early to play late against quick bowlers and remains light on his feet to maneuver , often using his height for lofted drives or sweeps. In Tests, he adapts with , building methodically to the middle order, as seen in his average of 34.02 from 32 matches. Conversely, in T20Is, he unleashes power-hitting, evidenced by a of 160.31 and average of 32.56 across 21 appearances, favoring aerial routes and ramps to exploit field restrictions. In ODIs, his balance of accumulation and acceleration yields an average of 43.44 at a of 89.57 in 31 games, allowing seamless transitions between formats.

Bowling and all-round contributions

Cameron Green bowls right-arm fast-medium pace, typically operating at speeds of 130-140 km/h and capable of reaching peaks of 145 km/h, allowing him to extract significant bounce from his 198 cm frame. His arsenal includes seam-up deliveries with natural movement and cutters that enhance deviation off the pitch, contributing to awkward carry for batsmen. Green has demonstrated his potential with five-wicket hauls in both Test and ODI formats, notably 5/35 against South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in December 2022 and 5/27 against Zimbabwe in August 2022. A key variation in Green's bowling is the bouncer, which he employs effectively to exploit his height and generate steep trajectories that challenge batsmen's judgment. In white-ball cricket, he incorporates slower balls to disrupt rhythm and target the stumps, complementing his quicker efforts. His economy rates reflect control across formats, at around 3.4 runs per over in Tests and approximately 8 in T20Is, underscoring his ability to contain scoring while posing a threat. As an , Green balances substantial batting and bowling workloads, providing flexibility in team selections by contributing wickets without compromising run-scoring potential. In the 2020–21 season, he established a benchmark for all-rounders by scoring the most runs in the competition with 922 at an average of 76.83, while also taking wickets to support Western Australia's campaign. This dual impact has been vital in maintaining equilibrium, particularly in longer formats where his bowling spells relieve pressure on specialist pacers. Green's bowling has evolved significantly since 2022, with refinements to his action following back stress fractures leading to greater accuracy and reduced instances of no-balls and wides. These adjustments have enhanced his consistency, allowing for longer spells and better control over line and length in high-pressure scenarios.

Personal life

Health management

Cameron Green manages his stage 2 (CKD), diagnosed before birth, through a combination of dietary restrictions and lifestyle adjustments aimed at slowing disease progression, as the condition is irreversible and his kidneys cannot regenerate. His kidney function operates at approximately 60% capacity, requiring a low-sodium and to reduce strain on the kidneys, though he temporarily increases protein intake around matches to support athletic performance. He undergoes regular medical follow-ups and avoids nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can exacerbate kidney damage in CKD patients. Green collaborates with nutritionists and team chefs—such as during the —to ensure kidney-friendly meal options like spaghetti bolognese or chicken and rice are available, particularly while traveling. In his professional career, Green has implemented adaptations including enhanced hydration monitoring and scheduled rest to mitigate fatigue and cramping episodes linked to his condition, which first notably affected him during a 2022 ODI against . He publicly disclosed his CKD in December 2023 interviews, explaining how it occasionally causes emotional strain when it impacts performance, but emphasized proactive management with his team's support. The medical team and coaching staff provide tailored guidance, including workload adjustments. This has resulted in no major match absences attributable to CKD. Green's long-term outlook remains positive with ongoing monitoring, as stage 2 CKD is manageable without immediate intervention, though progression to stage 5 could necessitate a transplant or dialysis. As of 2025, he reports stable health, crediting consistent and medical oversight for enabling a full international career, and serves as an ambassador for Kidney Health Australia to raise awareness.

In February 2025, Green announced his engagement to longtime partner Emily Redwood, a , via , sharing photos of a beachside proposal and expressing his commitment to her. Outside of cricket, Green enjoys golf as a recreational pursuit, often incorporating it into his downtime alongside travel and attending football matches, such as those of Manchester United. His personal interests reflect a balanced , emphasizing relaxation and connections beyond the sport. Green is actively involved in philanthropy, serving as an ambassador for Kidney Health Australia since 2023 to raise awareness about , a condition he has managed since birth. He has visited children on dialysis at facilities like Monash and spearheaded initiatives like the Red Socks Run in 2024. In recognition of his efforts, he received the Community Impact Award at the 2025 Australian Cricket Awards. Commercially, Green has secured several endorsement deals that contribute to his off-field profile. He has been sponsored by Australia for apparel since at least 2024, for cricket equipment since 2021, for energy products, Rado watches since 2024, and since early 2025.
