Ashwin also backed England all-rounder Liam Livingstone to go big in the auction, thanks to Russell and Maxwell's withdrawal.Talking about the recent developments and how they impact Green's value at the auction, Ashwin said on his YouTube channel (via Crikipidea Instagram handle):"Ask Cameron Green to book 4-5 acres near the Sydney harbor. He has entered the auction this time and there is no Andre Russell or Glenn Maxwell. CSK fans put him ( Maxwell) at No. 6 and were waiting for him but now that chance is gone. So Liam Livingstone and Cameron Green have a big jackpot at the auction."Russell and Maxwell aside, other foreign stars, Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali, have withdrawn from the 2026 IPL season.Cameron Green has been in red-hot T20 form this yearCameron Green has been in sparkling form in T20Is since returning from injury.
