Kolkata Knight Riders fans are eagerly waiting to see whether Cameron Green will bowl in today’s IPL 2026 clash against Punjab Kings. The Australian all-rounder’s role has been under the spotlight after he hasn’t bowled so far this season.
As per the latest update, Cameron Green is unlikely to bowl in today’s match. The team management is carefully handling his workload as he continues his recovery from a back issue.
KKR bowling coach Tim Southee confirmed that Green has started bowling in the nets and is making steady progress. However, the team is not willing to rush him back into full match duties just yet.
Green has been used mainly as a batter in the tournament so far, with his bowling workload being closely monitored. This decision has been taken to avoid any risk of aggravating his condition.
Despite not bowling in matches, there are positive signs. The coaching staff indicated that Green is “not far away” from returning as a full all-rounder, suggesting that fans may soon see him contribute with the ball as well.
The delay is largely due to the need to build match fitness gradually. While he has been bowling at good intensity in practice sessions, transitioning into match situations requires careful management.
For KKR, Green’s absence as a bowling option has been noticeable, especially in tight games where an extra bowling option could make a difference.
