‘There is still a ray of hope left, I will keep trying’ Glenn Maxwell on playing Test cricket for Australia

Maxwell last played a Test match for Australia in 2017. Glenn Maxwell (Image Credit- Twitter X) Experienced all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has still not given up hope of playing Test cricket for Australia. In the biggest format of the game, Maxwell was successful in achieving the historic Baggy Green for Australia in the year 2013. However, after this, he got to play only 7 Test matches for Australia in the next four years. Also, in 2017, Maxwell was last seen playing in red ball cricket for Australia. But now speaking on this, Maxwell said that there is still a ray of hope left and he wants to go after it. Also, let us tell you that even after all-rounder Cameron Green is out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Cricket Australia (CA) is not looking towards Maxwell. However, Maxwell is hopeful that this will change soon. Glenn Maxwell gave a big statement Regarding playing Test cricket for Australia, Maxwell was quoted by ESPN Cricinfo as saying – I think that if I gave up that dream of playing Test cricket now, I do not think that I would be able to do justice to the young Glenn Maxwell who Dying to wear baggy green as a kid. I think as long as there is a ray of hope left, I will keep trying for it. Maxwell further said- I think the hardest thing with Test cricket is that when I grew up, that’s all I wanted to do. I definitely got my chance in Test cricket early. When I got the chance to debut, it all happened very fast. I had no idea what I was doing. Perhaps I did not get the experience of first class cricket that I would have liked.

BGT 2024-25: “If we play well against them then…”, Glenn Maxwell said about Ashwin-Jadeja.

These two (Ashwin and Jadeja) are the only players we have faced consistently – Glenn Maxwell R Ashwin, Glenn Maxwell & Ravindra Jadeja (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian cricket team is going to tour Australia for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in November this year. Team India had won 2-1 in both the previous Test series in Australia. Rohit Sharma and Co. now aim to win their third consecutive Test series on Australian soil. Meanwhile, Glenn Maxwell has described India’s spin pair Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as game changers. The all-rounder believes that if Australia faces these two players well then the team will be in a better position. Glenn Maxwell said this about Ashwin and Jadeja Glenn Maxwell while speaking on Star Sports said, I think after playing against players like Ashwin and Jadeja for a long time, it feels like both of them are players we have faced consistently and our battles with them often determine the outcome of the game. If we play well against those two (Ashwin, Jadeja), we will generally find ourselves in a better position. Both of them have been with me for most of my career because they are almost the same age. Ashwin and Jadeja have played a huge role in the previous India-Australia matches. Together they have taken 821 wickets in 330 innings, including 50 five-wicket hauls. Maxwell gave this statement regarding Jasprit Bumrah Speaking further, Glenn Maxwell praised Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. At present, Bumrah is performing brilliantly in all three formats. He won the Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup 2024 by taking 15 wickets in 8 matches. I was there in his (Jasprit Bumrah) first season of IPL in Mumbai in 2013 and faced him almost every day in the nets. It is an amazing story to see him go from being a young, untapped talent to possibly the best bowler across all three formats to what he is today.
