Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has voiced serious worries over Kolkata Knight Riders\u2019 use of all-rounder Cameron Green in the ongoing IPL. Green, signed by KKR for a reported price of Rs 25.2 crore, has still not been cleared by Cricket Australia\u2019s medical group to bowl, leaving the franchise to manage his role with a significant limitation so far.<\/p>\n

Gavaskar flags Green\u2019s impact on KKR\u2019s balance<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Gavaskar said KKR will have to reassess their playing combination if Green cannot bowl, arguing that the team\u2019s overall structure is being hit by his current inability to contribute with the ball.<\/li>\n
  2. He noted that Green has shown batting ability, including scoring a hundred in an IPL match and also producing a century in a recent red-ball game in Australia, but insisted the franchise must look closely at where things stand in the current tournament.<\/li>\n
  3. In his first two appearances, Green\u2019s returns with the bat have been modest, with scores of 18 and 2, which has intensified scrutiny around his form and effectiveness during KKR\u2019s early campaign.<\/li>\n
  4. Gavaskar suggested that while it is acceptable for Green to bat at No. 4, KKR need to urgently address problems in the next spots\u2014particularly the No. 5 and No. 6 positions\u2014where he believes performances have not been at the required level.<\/li>\n
  5. He added that if Green is not delivering with the ball, KKR may need to consider bringing in another specialist batter to shore up their batting depth and stability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Workload managed as lower-back concern continues<\/h2>\n

    Cricket Australia has indicated that Green\u2019s workload is being carefully managed because of a lower back issue. The franchise has reportedly been made aware of the restriction ahead of the competition. Even though he has not bowled in matches so far, Green has been seen bowling during training sessions, suggesting there is a possibility of him returning to full all-round responsibilities as his recovery progresses.<\/p>\n

    With KKR having lost both of their opening matches, they now turn their attention to their next fixture against Punjab Kings on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
