In-form Glenn Maxwell Eyes Test Return

Experienced Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell recently admitted he is hopeful to play Test cricket again and is keen to get into the Australia squad for Tests.

Meanwhile, Maxwell returned to form with a match-winning knock against Zimbabwe. He will be crucial against Pakistan later on Sunday in the T20I tri-series final.

Admitting he has struggled to grab the opportunity entirely, Maxwell stated he is up for the task.

“I would love an opportunity to play in the Test team again. I have had mixed opportunities with the Test side and probably haven’t quite grabbed it with both hands every time I have had the opportunity,” Maxwell said to cricket.com.au. “If I do get the opportunity I will hopefully take it with both hands this time,” he added.

The batting all-rounder has played seven Test matches scoring 339 runs with an average of 26. The 29-year old Maxwell is likely to skip Australia A tour to India to prepare for the two-test series against Pakistan.

“I think between now and the UAE it will just be a lot of training and making sure my body is right for that tour. I was hoping to go on it (Australia A’s tour of India), but as they pointed out I have been to India 16 or 17 times so there is no real need for me to go over there and prove what I can do,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Australia is going through a tough phase after the ball-tampering incident in South Africa.

England whitewashed them in the limited-over series. However, Australia showed characters to come back to Zimbabwe.
