‘He’ll be the most disappointed himself’: KKR bowling coach Southee on marquee signing Cameron Green’s horror start to IPL 2026 | Cricket News

2 min readApr 15, 2026 09:00 PM IST Australia all-rounder Cameron Green is having a first-hand experience of the undesirable part of being a headline buy in an Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. Green simply hasn’t been able to get going this season and the record Rs 25.20 crore price tag for which he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has been mentioned almost every time he has fallen short thus far this season. The fact that Green was still recovering from an injury at the start of the season hasn’t helped him, neither the way in which that was revealed. 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 …

4 min readApr 5, 2026 11:33 PM IST Kolkata Knight Riders’ high-profile acquisition Cameron Green has resumed bowling in the nets and is “not far away” from doing so in an IPL match, bowling coach Tim Southee said on Sunday. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO The Australian all-format all-rounder, IPL’s costliest overseas buy at Rs 25.20-crore, has not bowled so far in the season as Cricket Australia monitors his workload post his back surgery. “Yeah, Green’s been bowling well, tracking his rehab and getting himself back to being able to bowl in games. He’ll continue to do that,” Southee said ahead of KKR’s clash against Punjab Kings. However, it is unlikely that Green will bowl against PBKS on Monday, even though he was seen going full throttle at a practice session on Saturday. Sunday’s match-day minus one training was washed out at Eden Gardens, with most regulars staying away, while a few domestic recruits, including Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rahul Tripathi, trained indoors. KKR’s inexperienced pace attack — in the absence of Mustafizur Rahman, Harshit Rana, Akash …

Age just a number for Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma as 2027 WC still possible for them: Tim Southee | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can extend their careers till the 2027 ODI World Cup if the two Indian superstars continue their age-defying batting efforts, feels New Zealand pace great Tim Southee. Kohli, retired from T20Is and Tests, has been in imperious touch, scoring back-to-back hundreds against the visiting South Africa in the ongoing three-match ODI series, while Rohit also underlined his form with a century and fifty in the last three outings. “Kohli is arguably the best ever one-day batsman and if he’s still performing then why not,” Southee, who is leading Sharjah Warriorz, told select media on the sidelines of the fourth season of the ILT20 here. “Rohit (too) had scored 100 some days ago in Australia, so they’re still performing. So, as long as they’re still performing and still contributing to the side then I believe age is only a number,” he added. With both batters set to be around 39 during the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, their future remains a hot talking point. “I guess that’s their decision, …

‘If Kane Williamson hadn’t been slightly unfit… Ravindra might not have gotten his chance’: Tim Southee | Cricket News

Published by Webster

In the opening game of the 2023 World Cup when New Zealand played England in Ahemadabad Rachin Ravindra blitzed with 96-balls 123 runs. Post the match-winning innings Ravindra got a continued run in the New Zealand team and now has become a regular in the side. Former New Zealand cricketer Tim Southee would recall if Kane Williamson had not been injured Rachin would not have got his opportunity. “He’s still young, but he has a mature mindset. If Kane Williamson hadn’t been slightly unfit due to his knee injury during the One-Day World Cup last year, Ravindra might not have gotten his chance. But everything happens for a reason. He is always eager to learn, constantly seeking advice from experienced players like Williamson. For a young player, his willingness to improve stands out,” Southee said speaking on ESPNcricinfo. Rachin smashed his fifth ICC ton in the game against South Africa to help New Zealand get into the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Former Australian cricketer Mathew Hayden too would be impressed with Rachin …

After Mohammed Shami, New Zealand’s Tim Southee Calls To Quash Saliva Ban On Ball

Published by Webster

Former New Zealand pacer Tim Southee has supported India pacer Mohammed Shami’s call to revoke the saliva ban on the ball in international cricket to assist bowlers in getting reverse swing from the ball. The International Cricket Council (ICC) had, in May 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic as a temporary measure, barred players from using saliva to polish the ball. In September 2022, it was permanently banned by the ICC. After India’s four-wicket win over Australia in the Champions Trophy semifinal, Shami said, “We are trying (to get reverse swing), but the usage of saliva on the ball is not allowed. We keep appealing that we should be allowed to use saliva so that we can bring reverse swing back into the game and it becomes interesting.” Supporting Shami’s call, Southee urged the ICC to revoke the ban on using saliva to shine the ball and give some advantage to bowlers. “That was a rule brought around Covid with the virus going around the world, but I think as a bowler, you want …
