T20 cricket is not easy, he (Glenn Maxwell) is just one good innings away from getting back in form- Usman Khawaja Usman Khawaja and Glenn Maxwell (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Australian player Glenn Maxwell’s performance in IPL 2024 has been very poor.

Any player who has performed for a long period of time understands that you can’t go out there and perform well every time. Usman Khawaja further said, ‘You take some risks, especially if you bat in the middle order, and T20 cricket is not easy. He is just one good innings away from getting back in form. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. He is not going to change his game nor should he do so. Just keep moving forward, he will find his form.’ Glenn Maxwell has not yet joined the Australian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. At the same time, let us tell you that the Kangaroo team has defeated Namibia by 7 wickets in their first warm-up match.
