Zane Edward Green (born 11 October 1996) is a Namibian cricketer who made his senior debut for the Namibian national side in September 2013, aged 16.
A left-handed wicket-keeper/batsman, Green attended Windhoek High School, and made his senior club debut during the 2012–13 season, aged 15. He made his debut for the Namibian national under-19 side in December 2012, at the annual Cricket South Africa provincial under-19 tournament, and scored 50 runs from four innings. Green's next matches for the side came at the 2013 Africa Under-19 Championship tournament. He played only two games, against Uganda and Zambia, and in the latter match opened the batting with Xander Pitchers, who went on to score 161 from 143 balls.
Green made his senior limited-overs debut for Namibia in September 2013, in a dead rubber against the United Arab Emirates as part of the 2011–13 ICC World Cricket League Championship. Coming in fifth in the batting order, he finished with nine not out from 45 balls, as Namibia were bowled out for 80. Green's next matches for the Namibian senior side came early the following month, in the CSA Provincial Competitions. He made his first-class debut in a three-day fixture against KwaZulu-Natal Inland, and then played in the corresponding one-day fixture. In February 2014, Green was selected in Namibia's squad for the 2014 Under-19 World Cup, where he played in three matches. He scored a duck against Australia and four runs against Scotland, but against Canada scored 57 runs from 77 balls, featuring in a 93-run second-wicket stand with Malan Kruger.
