Overseas cricketers like Cameron Green's minimal role for their respective franchises in IPL 2026 has been criticized by the former cricketers as well as the fans. Green has been restricted by Cricket Australia from bowling in the initial stages of IPL 2026, despite KKR picking him in the role of an all-rounder.
Legendary Sunil Gavaskar sparked a fresh debate in the IPL amid the controversial moves from overseas cricketers. In his column for Sportstar, Gavaskar questioned the trend of all-rounders who have featured purely as batters, despite being picked for their dual skillsets.
Gavaskar cited the existing rules within the BCCI and urged the Indian board to take steps against the overseas players in the IPL. He referred to the two-year ban imposed on overseas players who pull out after being bought in the IPL.
Sunil Gavaskar disregards excuses from cricket boards

He also went on to claim that players who don't think they can perform to the best of their abilities should step aside and withdraw from the competition. “It is only fair that a player not fit from day one should withdraw and give the franchise the chance to pick someone else,” he stated.
