Mumbai Indians (MI) traded all-rounder Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) player auction in 2024.
MI Cameron Green, an all-rounder, has been moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Green, who was purchased at auction for a record 17.5 crore last December, appeared in 16 matches. The Australian batsman had an outstanding start to the IPL, scoring an undefeated century and two half-centuries while also collecting six wickets.
