    IPL 2026: Just Unfortunate That Green Has Not Been Able To Bowl So Far, Says Nayar

    Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Abhishek Nayar said it was ‘just unfortunate’ that Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has not been able to bowl so far in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL), adding that the franchise’s long-term plan was for him to be identified as a replacement for Andre Russell.

    Green, purchased by KKR for a jaw-dropping Rs 25.2 crore at last year’s IPL auction, didn't bowl an over in their season opening six-wicket defeat to Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, with Cricket Australia (CA) confirming that his bowling duties are restricted at the moment due to a ‘lower back injury’ and can resume it after 10-12 days.

    “There are things that sometimes are very unfortunate; it’s not in your control, but that’s the sport, and that’s the beauty of the sport. So, we always consider best-case scenarios. Yes, you want back-ups; you pick players who do certain things.
