Green hadn’t bowled for KKR in their opener against MI and when asked the reason for that, captain Ajinkya Rahane simply said: “Ask Cricket Australia”. What has also not helped his cause is that KKR have simply tanked in the early part of the season, remaining winless after five matches. “He has not had the start he would’ve liked but he’s obviously a quality player,” bowling coach Tim Southee said after their latest …
