IPL Auction: Cameron Green Joins Kolkata Knight Riders as Most Expensive Overseas Player
Green became the most expensive overseas player in IPL history at 252 million rupees, securing the third highest overall bid after an intense auction battle.
- On Tuesday, Australian all-rounder Cameron Green became the most expensive overseas player after Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for the 2026 season at the Indian Premier League auction.
- An intense bidding war with Chennai Super Kings pushed Green's price upward, and Kolkata Knight Riders prevailed despite an administrative registration error Green blamed on his manager.
- The fee ranks Green among the auction's priciest names, with 252 million rupees placing him third behind Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer.
- While playing in the Ashes, Green was named in Australia's XI for the third Test in Adelaide on Wednesday; Australia are 2-0 up and can seal the series this week.
- After struggles at Lord's this year, Green has played all formats since his December 2020 debut and been part of Australia's 2023 WTC and World Cup squads.
