Former Australian limited-overs cricketer David Hussey is surprised by the limited opportunities given to Glenn Maxwell in the Asian subcontinent, while the all-rounder is an asset in the white-ball game for the country.
The 33-year-old Maxwell has played just seven Tests since his debut in 2013, with the Cricket Australia selection panel citing his aggressive batting as the reason for not being included in the longest format.
But with a hectic subcontinental schedule in 2022, where Australia plays Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India in different formats, Hussey, who coaches Big Bash League (BBL) side Melbourne Stars, asked the selectors to give Maxwell more opportunities. asked for. In test too.
Maxwell averages 26 in Tests and it has been reported that the selectors will consider him to play Tests for Australia on tours of the subcontinent.
Even Maxwell has been quoted as saying that he would like to be in the Test team. “I think it is definitely realistic (to want to play Test cricket again). I think I’m probably playing as well as I’m playing at the moment,” he said recently.
Hussey told Sportsday on Friday: “I’m amazed at how little Test cricket he (Maxwell) has played, especially in the subcontinent. Sure, and I’m a little biased here, I think he’s the better player of spin in the country.” One of the players.
“I know we will get a lot of sub-continent tours in the upcoming winter, so I believe he should be in all those touring squads. I think he should add to his (many) Tests for Australia, I think That he is in career best form and to stop him from playing Test cricket again would be a wrong move.
Maxwell has played all his Tests in Asia, with the last coming in 2017.
