Win Projections to be updated soon
Glenn Maxwell prospects of playing Test cricket for the Australian squad were discussed by former captain Ricky Ponting. Ponting continued by saying that Maxwell was unworthy of representing Australia in Test matches.
The ace all-rounder did not make the squad for Australia’s current three-game Test series against Pakistan, despite being an integral part of the team’s World Cup-winning campaign. It is noteworthy that Maxwell did not participate in an Australian Test match until 2017.
Ricky Ponting emphasised in an interview how a player must accumulate a significant number of first-class runs in order to be considered for a Test cricket team. Maxwell has made 339 runs in just seven Test matches for the Australian team.
“Unless you have an impressive resume full of first-class runs under your belt, nobody gets a shot. He doesn’t deserve it, therefore I say no. However, Ponting stated on Channel 7 that “he can force his way back in if he gets the chance to go back and make some first-class runs.”
I completely comprehend the present side’s circumstances: Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell appears to be aware of the rivalry on the Test side, though. Australia is the defending World Test Championship champions and play world-class cricket, according to Maxwell, who made this statement prior to the series against Pakistan.
“I completely comprehend the present side’s circumstances. They are the reigning World Test champions and are playing some excellent cricket. Maxwell told SEN Radio, “I don’t think there will be another sub-continent tour until early 2025.”
“I’ll thus continue to work at it and perhaps receive a chance at that point. In terms of domestic Tests, there aren’t many openings, but I am certain that I can be a very strong contender to play a part on a subcontinental trip,” Maxwell continued.
