It is now reported that Cameron Green will miss the next months due to surgery on his back. Most likely, he will also have to give the IPL a miss. RCB would have considered retaining him before the Mega Auctions. However, the squad is now in deep trouble. They had spent a lot to trade him from Mumbai Indians. Now, all that could go for a toss because Green may actually not be available at all. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players RCB can target to replace Cameron Green for IPL 2025.
1) Ben Stokes
If fit, Ben Stokes can be a very suitable candidate to join RCB. The stature of the player will match the popularity of the side.
Of course, there are concerns about his fitness and availability. However, if Stokes is committed, RCB can surely go and pick him for the next season.
2) Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh is one of the players RCB can target to replace Cameron Green for IPL 2025. Yes, he could also be injury-prone but if he manages to be fit, Marsh will be a solid investment for the side. He might not give a lot of overs with the ball but with the willow, he can be extremely effective.
Importantly, Marsh can directly replace Faf du Plessis in the top-order and also as the skipper. He would also be the right aggressive opening partner for Virat Kohli. Hence, he is on this list.
3) Aaron Hardie
Aaron Hardie is performing well in various T20 leagues at the moment. For Australia, in the T20 format, he will be the replacement for Cameron Green.
Aaron can bat in the top order and already has enough experience. With the ball, although not as good as Green, Aaron is still good. Hence, he could be a decent pick for the side.
