Glenn Maxwell hopes for a Test recall, sets eyes on Sri Lanka tour in early 2025
The HinduGlenn Maxwell has not given up hope of playing Test cricket again and says his record in the subcontinent could earn him a recall for the first time in more than seven years when the team tours Sri Lanka in early 2025. Maxwell, who has not played Test cricket since September 2017, is under no illusions how difficult it is to break into Australia’s Test squad and the 35-year-old thinks he may have to bide his time for the Sri Lanka tour in a little over a year’s time. So, I’ll keep trying to plug away and hopefully get an opportunity at that stage.” While Maxwell is hoping to set the Big Bash League alight with his explosive batting and crafty off-spin, some of his Australia team- mates are preparing for the three-Test home series against Pakistan. “It would have been nice to play one at home, it’s where I played all my first-class cricket and it felt like I toiled away for a few years there,” Maxwell said.
