Indian Premier League: Matthew Hayden warns CA not to block Cameron Green's big IPL payout

Before Cameron Green made his test debut, Greg Chappell entitled the young cricketer as the best since Ricky Ponting. And here he was on Indian soil, creating a solid case for being selected to represent Australia in mega-tournaments. 

Cameron Green put forward a drool-worthy performance in the T20I series between India and Australia by smashing two half-centuries in three innings while debuting as an opener. 

Fellow all-rounder Mitchell Marsh said, "He's a super talent. He was given a role to go out (against India) and be aggressive. He's got incredible skill, but for a young guy who hasn't got a cemented spot in that team to play fearless cricket, that shows more about him than his actual skill. 

Can performance against India land Cameron Green with a considerable sum in IPL?

His aggressive take on Indian bowlers instantly brought that many IPL franchises would be eager to throw millions on the all-rounder to get his services.

"It's just the start of his T20 career," said Mitchell Marsh. "The amount of money he's going to earn over the next 10 years, I'm going to be looking for a couple of free feeds."

Matthew Hayden, who was there with Sunil Gavaskar in the commentary box of India vs Australia 3rd T20I, said, "He hasn't been picked up in the IPL, but I'll tell you what, bowling all-rounders, they are gold dust."

Will Cricket Australia stop him from participating in the IPL?

During the commentary, Sunil Gavaskar highlighted the rumours that Cricket Australia was wary of Cameron Green participating in IPL, fearing that the all-rounder might start faltering. He said, "Cricket Australia didn't want him to (play) because he had a few injuries, they didn't want him for the IPL and that's why they didn't give him the certificate diagnosis."

Scorning the idea, Matthew Hayden said that if he is prohibited from participating in IPL, it would be detrimental to Australian cricket. 

He emphasized, "Well it's nonsense if that's the case because you've got to learn how to play the game. Especially if you can play like this, bang straight out of the middle. You can't play it in the nets, you play out in the middle underground situation like this. Expose yourself to as many opportunities."
