Australia's all-around player Cameron Green says the team is excited to play their first match against Oman in the T20 World Cup, despite their team's delayed arrival in the Caribbean following the Indian Premier League (IPL).Australia's all-around player Cameron Green says the team is excited to play their first match against Oman in the T20 World Cup, despite their team's delayed arrival in the Caribbean following the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 38-hour flight to join the Australian squad, which only resulted in one lost bag, was something Green, who traveled a "quite ridiculous" amount in 2023, claimed he was used to by now. After RCB was knocked out of the IPL a week ago, the all-rounder was afforded a few days at home in Perth, and his trip to Barbados went more smoothly than that of a couple of his teammates."My cricket bag was the only item lost, but it was found the next day. Compared to Starcy's (Mitchell Starc) about 60-hour journey, mine took about 38 hours. So far, so good," Green told reporters during Australia's Monday training session, as per cricket.com.au.He recovered from early difficulties to play a significant role with bat and ball for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) late in the season, thanks to his increased comfort in living out of a suitcase.Five games into the season, Green's new IPL team benched him. However, in the final seven games of Royal Challengers Bangalore's playoff run, he found his feet and improved his strike rate from 107.93 in his opening five games to 170.21 in his final seven.When Australia plays Oman on Thursday, the 25-year-old's efforts might not be enough to get him into the starting lineup, but if necessary, the adaptable all-rounder could bat anywhere in the top eight.

The beauty of what I've encountered in the past few years is just that. I haven't always been able to lock into the same place. However, I am also appreciative of that. I think I can fit into a lot of different roles right away. That's probably where I envision myself in this tournament, filling in any gaps for the squad," he continued. Having spent more time online than any of his coworkers since joining the group, Green admits he's a little sore, but he thinks his preparation was excellent. Given how quickly the in-demand Western Australian has become a sought-after player in every arena, Australian management has been extremely concerned about balancing his workloads across several formats.Speaking with the other guys, I realized that, in comparison to typical years, the quantity of travel and the absence of days spent at home had been really absurd. Having done it for the past two years, I believe you get strangely acclimated to it. I've never been better prepared for a tour than I am right now. It's rather severe, in my opinion, to go directly into a Test trip after completing a T20. But this year's IPL is so beautiful because of that. You really had a ton of incredible practice before this. Many of the guys on our team are therefore quite confident, and hopefully we can get off to a strong start in the tournament," added Green.
