Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley praised Cameron Green’s exceptional 174 in the first Test against New Zealand, stating it validates the decision to place him at number four in the batting order. Green’s innings rescued Australia from a precarious position and showcased his talent.

Hockley commended Green’s knock, expressing his delight and confidence in the young player. He emphasized the importance of selectors’ decisions and the depth of talent in the Australian squad. The CEO highlighted the healthy competition for spots in the team.
While Hockley clarified that he does not influence selectors’ decisions, he acknowledged having discussions with the panel. With a settled men’s side, Hockley lauded the selectors for their successful choices in all formats over the past two years. Green’s innings is a testament to the selectors’ vision and the talent pool in Australian cricket.
