Chris Green is an off-spin bowler who also contributes useful runs from the middle order. He is known for being very hard to score off with the ball and for scoring freely with the bat, and that pairing of talents has made him a valuable player in Twenty20 cricket.

His first appearance for New South Wales came in the 2014/15 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup. The chance arose because the state's frontline spinners, Nathan Lyon and Stephen O'Keefe, were away on international duty. Green played well enough to earn a Big Bash League contract with the Sydney Thunder, and he was a key contributor when the Thunder won the title in the 2015-16 season.
That title-winning campaign was the moment Green became established as a T20 specialist, and offers from overseas franchise competitions followed. He has played in the Pakistan Super League for Lahore Qalandars and in the Caribbean Premier League for Guyana Amazon Warriors. In 2020 he joined the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League, although he appeared in only one match for them. Back home, the Sydney Thunder handed him the captaincy for the 2023/24 season.
Green was born in Durban, South Africa. His father is South African and his mother is British, which means he also holds a British passport.
