(Reuters) - Australia all-rounder Cameron Green has revealed he was born with chronic kidney disease and that his parents were told he might not live past 12-years-old.

Green told Channel 7 that the condition was detected during his mother's 19-week scan and that he was still trying to learn as much as he could about the disease.
