Have full faith in the guys over there to really play well: Glenn Maxwell on Australian Test team #IndiaNEWS #Sports
New Delhi, Feb 23 (IANS) Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell ruled out the chance of him joining the Test team, saying that he has full confidence in the squad to play well in the last two matches in Indore and Ahmedabad despite them being 2-0 behind in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
On Thursday, Maxwell was named in Australias squad for the three-match ODI series against India starting on March 17 in Mumbai. It will be his first series in international cricket since breaking his left leg in a freak accident just after Australias campaign in the Mens T20 World Cup ended last year.
I might have been a chance (to be selected originally for the Test tour) but as it so happened probably didnt have any sort of chance once I did my injury. I needed to be back playing cricket before then and proving my full fitness, but I suppose thats history now.
Weve just got to try to support those guys now. I think theres still a fair bit for me to do before Im ready to be available for them (Tests). But Ive got full faith in the guys over there to really play well and take it to India, he said to SEN Radio.
Asked about chances of him playing in the Ashes in June-July, Maxwell, who played his first Sheffield Shield match in three years earlier in the week, said, Im pretty realistic about my opportunity to play in the Ashes.
Maxwell also revealed he was not yet back to full fitness but is anticipating ramping up his fitness levels in the coming weeks before he leaves for India to play in the ODI series. To get through that first game and at the end of it feel really confident heading forward that I can withstand the rigours of a game of cricket. Im making good strides and hopefully back to 100 per cent soon.
Ive got a fairly busy schedule coming up. Im going to play club cricket on Saturday and hopefully the next Shield game in Albury against New South Wales. Theres a bit of cricket still to go before I head off to India…theres a full off-season for me, hopefully, its all a really good lead into the ODI World Cup at the backend of the year.
Maxwell will play for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2023 IPL, followed by featuring for Warwickshire in the T20 Blast in England, and for London Spirit in The Hundred, before getting back to the Australian team for the ODI World Cup in India to be held in October and November.
