Green (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer from Amberley, West Sussex who was active in the 1730s and 1740s, playing for Sussex in important matches. There are definite mentions of Green in 1744 and 1747.

Career

On Saturday, 2 June 1744, he played for London against Slindon in the earliest match that has a surviving scorecard. On Monday, 18 June 1744, he played for All-England versus Kent. On Monday, 31 August 1747, he again played for All-England versus Kent.

As Green had established his reputation by 1744, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1720s or 1730s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Green.
