Chris Green (Cricketer) Biography

Early life and background

Christopher James Green was born on October 1, 1993, in Durban, Natal, South Africa. He moved to Australia and developed his cricketing education there, attending Knox Grammar School in Sydney and later studying at the University of Technology Sydney. Green comes from an athletic family: both of his parents competed as professional tennis players, including appearances at Wimbledon. He grew up playing cricket through his school and university years and progressed into the Australian domestic system.

Career

Green is an allround cricketer who bowls right-arm offbreak and bats right-handed. He made his entry into professional cricket in the 2014–2015 period, debuting in first-class cricket for New South Wales and appearing for Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League. Over the following years he became a regular presence in T20 competitions and domestic sides.

His domestic and franchise affiliations have included New South Wales, New South Wales Under-23s, Sydney Thunder, Surrey 2nd XI, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Birmingham Bears, Toronto Nationals, Lahore Qalandars, Multan Sultans, and Kolkata Knight Riders. He joined Kolkata Knight Riders for the 2020 Indian Premier League and made his IPL debut against Kings XI Punjab. Green has also captained Guyana Amazon Warriors for the 2020 season.

Green signed a long-term contract with Sydney Thunder, committing to the club through to the end of Big Bash League Season 13, the longest deal in the franchise’s history at the time. He has worked under coaches and mentors such as Brendon McCullum and has trained with international spinners during practice sessions.

Setbacks and discipline

In early 2020 Green was reported for an illegal bowling action following a Big Bash League match. As a result of the reporting and subsequent testing, he was suspended from bowling for a period of three months (90 days). The testing and disciplinary process was administered under Cricket Australia protocols.

Green is described as South African-born Australian in nationality. He stands about 1.90 m (6'3") tall, with moss green eyes and blonde hair. His parents are Warren and Lisa Green, and he has a brother, Cameron Green. As of the information provided, Green is unmarried and is linked publicly with a girlfriend named Bella Wagschall.

Latest updates
