Cameron Green Reveals How Jasprit Bumrah Gave Him Confidence

Cameron Green has pulled off a successful recovery after being away from action for almost half a year. The batting all-rounder dealt with a back issue which required surgery, which led to him missing out on the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the IPL 2025 season.

Green has returned from the layoff and is expected to be a part of the World Test Championship Final. The all-rounder also revealed that Bumrah reached out to him the night before his surgery, which made him feel special.

“Jasprit Bumrah reached out the night before I was getting surgery. He was in the middle of a Test match in India. Just a few things like that is really special.

“To get someone like him to reach out and then to watch him during the summer, to see how good he is obviously post-surgery, filled me with a lot of confidence,” Cameron Green said to 7News.

Jasprit Bumrah and Cameron Green share a firm camaraderie as both of them have been a part of the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2023 season. However, the Aussie failed to compete in that season after undergoing back surgery.
