Former India spinner Anil Kumble reckons that Punjab Kings (PBKS) will go all out for Cameron Green in the IPL auction scheduled on December 23.

Green is one of the best all-rounders at the moment and offers a great deal across all departments.

He recently showed his batting prowess at the top of the order during the tour of India and as a bowler has the knack of picking wickets at crucial junctures of the game, which makes him an exciting prospect.

Kumble believes that since PBKS have released Odean Smith, they need a fast-bowling all-rounder to revamp the squad.

"Punjab Kings have let go off their overseas all-rounder Odean Smith, so they will look for an overseas all-rounder. So, there is Cameron Green, Ben Stokes and Sam Curran.

In my view, they will go for Cameron Green, because he gives you a bit of pace, he is tall and hits the deck hard, and can also bat at the top three. So, that is something I believe Punjab Kings will try and do," Kumble said on Jio Cinema.

With the auction just around the corner, Green will certainly attract a lot of buyers alongside the likes of Ben Stokes, Sam Curran and Harry Brook.
