Impressed with his all-round talent, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting was of the opinion that Green could be an attractive T20 package for the Aussies.

In a conversation with cricket.com.au, Ponting said that Green possesses the qualities to become an all-format player for the Australian cricket team gradually.

“That will be the next phase of his development, the white-ball stuff; I think he's going to be a very attractive T20 package in the future as well with that sheer power that he's got. He's good in the field, and his bowling could be quite handy, so there's no reason why he couldn't end up being a good all-format player,” Ponting told cricket.com.au.

Green made it to the Australian Test team after notching up a hundred against India in the first practice match. During the series, his performance left a positive imprint on a few former Aussie players as well.
