Overview
- Speaking on his YouTube channel, R Ashwin proposed allowing franchises to reduce contract payments if a player cannot deliver the expected bowling workload.
- He questioned whether Cricket Australia will permit Cameron Green to bowl his full four overs per IPL match due to workload management for Tests.
- Kolkata Knight Riders bought Green for Rs 25.2 crore, the highest fee paid for a foreign player in IPL history.
- Since returning from injury, Green has been used lightly with the ball, including 61.5 overs across nine Ashes innings and just 3.1 overs in four T20 World Cup matches.
- Ashwin invoked KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan to stress value for money and noted attention will focus on Green when KKR open against Mumbai Indians on March 29 in Mumbai.
