Green and Root had faced each other in the Ashes 2021–22, where Green had taken Root’s wicket twice.
Obviously, you want to get the best players in the world, and Joe (Root) is definitely that. I think it probably just came down to… maybe he was thinking. This is probably my chance to score a few runs. I was happy enough to bowl a couple of nice balls, he said in the video posted by Cricket Australia.
Root could be considered the best test batter for England in the current generation. He is the second-highest run-getter for England. Root has scored 11,004 runs in 130 matches. He smashed runs with an average of 50.24.
Obviously, he is a world-class player. Here in England, he has dominated for the last couple of years. So I am looking forward to the challenge. Especially as a bowler, you look forward to coming over here with the swing. Cameron Green has played 21 test matches in which he has taken 25 wickets with an average of 33.84 and an economy of 3.05. He has the best bowling figure of 5/27.
