Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Cameron Green has been in fine form in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and putting out his best for the team despite battling with an irreversible chronic kidney disease which forces him to follow a special diet and routine to be able to play cricket.

Green has been consuming a special diet with the help of the RCB Executive chef due to the limited number of food options suitable for people suffering from such conditions. He heaped praise on the franchise for keeping him in the best shape for the tournament.

“For me, it’s sometimes challenging, especially in India. Sometimes there are limited food options and with my condition, I’ve to look after my salt and protein, I have gotta keep that to a minimum around cricket and then during cricket, I can slightly increase my salt volumes because I need it to play cricket. So, it’s a bit of challenging, a bit of a changing diet that I kind of have to be pretty strict on as I wanna be able to perform on the field. But also I have to think of the long-term health risks if I don’t look after myself,” commented Cameron Green during the press conference.

He added, “I’m very willing to do it and at the same time, RCB people have been unreal in helping me. I have got in contact with the chefs here and have got my special diet, talking directly to them and asking them exactly what I need. Having meals that are suited for me, with just enough protein, which obviously allows me to play cricket and perform well on the field but also not affecting me. So also that’s reducing salt as well, So yeah, I’ve had a great experience here so far. Absolutely love the franchise as they’re looking after me beautifully. It’s been a great few weeks in India.”
