David Warner Warns Cameron Green
Earlier Green confirms that he has registered for the IPL 2023 Auction where franchises will get into a bidding war to bag the needed player among the registered.
“I have registered for it. It will be an exciting opportunity. Speaking to a lot of guys, especially in the WA (Western Australia) set up about their experiences in the IPL, they speak so highly of it,” Green was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
If Green sold in the IPL 2023 auction then he will spend almost half of the season in India for the T20 league besides four Tests and two ODIs series. He also has tours of England and South Africa lined up before next year’s ODI World Cup in India.
Seeking this Australian opening batter David Warner who retains his position with Delhi Capitals says “Nineteen weeks straight in India, being your first trip there as well, can be quite challenging – from the heat perspective, the playing, the recovery”.
“I’ve been through it, I’ve done the Test series and the IPL. It is tough. Then on the back of that you’ve got five Test matches in England. Then I think you’ve got 20 days off before you go to South Africa and then go to a World Cup.
“Glenn Maxwell did it a couple of years ago, played the whole year and then was cooked come the (Australian) season.
“From a youngster’s point of view it’s totally up to him, it’s his decision to make. For the longevity of him and his career, it’s a big call for him as a youngster. Whatever decision he goes with we’ll respect it as players. But ultimately, it’s down to him and CA.”
Green said he is aware that it is going to be tough but believes he has the right support system to sustain the rigours of the hectic schedule.
“It’s going to be a really tough year. I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with that. But it’s a really good opportunity, I think. If you’re playing all three formats and IPL you’re going to be learning a lot about your cricket.
“You might get pushed a little bit with your body. I back that in that I have good resources and around me to get through that. And doing everything you can to look after your body and have rests within that. It will be a tough year”, he added.
Australia will now play the 2-match Test series against West Indies begins from November in Perth Stadium, Perth.
