The 21-year-old Cameron Green has only played nine one-day games for Western Australia and 13 T20s for Perth Scorchers. Although new to high-grade cricket, the youngster has already grabbed eyeballs. He has already played a 197-run knock in this year’s Sheffield Shield game. He also has a decent average with the ball.

“The entire squad performed exceptionally well in the UK in beating the current one-day World Champions at home and retaining the World No.1 ranking in T20 International cricket. We look forward to a blockbuster summer against one of our greatest rivals,” said national selector Trevor Hohns.
