Australia and India are poised to meet in the World Test Championship (WTC) final on June 7, 2023, at the famous Oval Stadium in London. Australia will be making their first appearance in the WTC final, while India will be making their second appearance in the prestigious Test competition final.
Some Australian players have concluded their contracts with IPL franchises and have joined the national team’s camp. Cameron Green, who played for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League 2023, is currently in London to bolster Australia’s squad against Rohit Sharma and company in the mega-event, which is set to take place at the Oval.
Ahead of the WTC final, Australian spin wizard Nathan Lyon expressed his admiration for Cameron Green’s bubbling confidence and lavished praise on his youthful colleague. Lyon believes Green’s debut Test performance against India in Ahmedabad, as well as his outstanding IPL campaign with the Mumbai Indians (MI), have improved his confidence.

Nathon Lyon talks about the influence of IPL on young Cameron Green. “His presence around the team has definitely changed after being a part of that IPL and after scoring that hundred in Ahmedabad. He’s growing in confidence and being himself more, coming out of his shell a little bit more around the team”.
“I think that just comes from being able to hang in there and play the IPL and be around the likes of (Mumbai and India Test captain) Rohit Sharma and these guys to learn off them,” the off spinner added.
In the important game against India, Australia will need Green to shine with both bat and ball and help his teammates win the famous Mace. So far, the 24-year-old has appeared in 20 Tests for his country, scoring 941 runs and taking 23 wickets. Green’s batting numbers against India are respectable, with 371 runs, a tonne, and a half-century in nine innings over six matches.
