Amid his busy schedule, Cameron Green has taken time out and expressed his excitement to be back in the IPL and join the KKR camp and have a great year ahead.
"Hi, KKR fans!! It's Cam Green here. I am so excited to be part of Kolkata for this year's IPL, to get down to the Eden Gardens and to get used to the atmosphere. I hope this is a great year for us. So, see you soon. Ami KKR!!" Cameron Green said in a video on the official X handle of the Kolkata Knight Riders.

After the Australian all-rounder went on to surpass Mitchell Starc to be the costliest overseas player in the history of the league, former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting made a hilarious remark on the player's auction price.
Ponting himself is part of the IPL with the Punjab Kings; however, considering his duties as a commentator in the Ashes, he has not been able to make it to Abu Dhabi for the mini-auction.
"Over 25 crores, we are hearing, which is I don't know exactly....but it's a lot of money," said Ponting while he giggled. Approximately the amount ranges to 2.8 million USD and nearly 4.2 million Australian dollars (AUD).
