Maxwell last played a Test match for Australia in 2017
Australia’s experienced all-rounder and former captain Glenn Maxwell seems to have made up his mind to make a full comeback in red ball cricket. Let us tell you that Maxwell is going to play in Australia’s domestic cricket tournament Sheffield Shield Cricket.
It is worth noting that 35-year-old Maxwell was last seen playing for Australia in the biggest format of the game against Bangladesh in 2017. If everything goes well, he can return to red ball cricket on Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka next year.
So, a big statement has come from the captain of Victoria team in Sheffield Shield cricket, Will Sutherland. Sutherland has indicated that Maxwell will be seen playing in the upcoming tournament, so that he can make a place in the national team.
Will Sutherland made a big statement
Let us tell you that regarding Glenn Maxwell, 24-year-old Will Sutherland said as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo – I think he (Glenn Maxwell) will be available for some time and I believe he is also eager to play. Obviously, things can change with him playing at this time, but it is a bit of a luxury to have a player like Glenn potentially coming into our team. So, at the moment, hopefully it can work out well.
Maxwell has played a total of 7 Test matches for Australia so far, in which he has scored a total of 339 runs at an average of 26.08. Apart from this, he has taken a total of 8 wickets in bowling at an average of 42.62. However, now it will be worth seeing how Maxwell is going to perform if he plays in the domestic cricket tournament Sheffield Shield?
