Finch Criticizes KKR’s Use of Cameron Green as Winless Start Persists

The former Australia captain urges role-based picks to fix Kolkata’s slide.

Overview

  • Aaron Finch, speaking Wednesday on ESPNcricinfo, said Kolkata Knight Riders should not pick players based on auction price tags.
  • Cameron Green has 56 runs in five innings and one wicket, and he was sent in at No. 6 against Chennai Super Kings where Noor Ahmad dismissed him first ball.
  • Finch said Green’s best spot is to open the batting and suggested using more of his overs through the middle to simplify his role.
  • KKR, still without a win after five matches, visit Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on April 17 needing a result to avoid slipping further from the playoff race.
  • Earlier suggestions from Finch included considering Tim Seifert as a specialist opener, with the New Zealander coming off 326 runs at a 166.32 strike rate at the 2026 T20 World Cup.
