Talented all-rounder whose powerful batting and deceptive medium-pace swing bowling have made him a key player in Australia's Test and ODI setup.
Born in Perth on 3 June 1999, this towering all-rounder grew up in Western Australia where he developed his cricket through junior programs. Standing at 6'6", his natural height advantage became evident early as he progressed through age-group cricket, representing Western Australia at youth levels before making his first-class debut for the state in 2017 as an 18-year-old. Green's rise through domestic cricket was swift but punctuated by injury setbacks, including stress fractures that temporarily halted his bowling development. He established himself as a key player for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield, combining aggressive middle-order batting with his ability to extract bounce and movement as a fast-medium bowler. His breakthrough came during the 2019-20 domestic season when consistent performances earned national selection. Making his Test debut against India at Adelaide in December 2020, Green became the youngest Australian to debut in the top six batting positions in over a decade. His maiden Test fifty came in his second match, and he quickly demonstrated his value as a genuine all-rounder capable of contributing significantly with both bat and ball. He made his ODI debut in 2022 and was selected for Australia's T20 World Cup campaign that same year, establishing himself across all three formats. Green's emergence represents a continuation of Australia's rich tradition of pace-bowling all-rounders, filling a role the team had sought since the retirement of several senior players. His athletic fielding, particularly in the slips, adds another dimension to his cricket. As one of the youngest players in Australia's Test squad, he has become integral to the team's long-term planning and represents the next generation of Australian cricket. His versatility across formats and ability to adapt his game to different conditions have marked him as a cornerstone player for Australia's future campaigns.
