Melbourne: Australia’s explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has admitted that his Test career is as good as over and he believes that he would not be able to make a comeback in red-ball cricket. The explosive batting all-rounder has failed to replicate his limited-overs exploits in the longest format and played the last of his seven Tests in Bangladesh in 2017.
India also retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-1 series win. The series defeat by India exposed holes in Australia’s middle order, but Maxwell had no illusions about where he stood, and nowhere in the picture to make a comeback in the longest format.
“I don’t think I stand anywhere near it, to be honest, they’ve got their idea of what they want. They’ve got guys in there at the moment who are very, very good first-class players.” the 32-year-old was quoted as saying to Herald Sun newspaper. “Cameron Green we can see is going to be an absolute superstar, Puck (Will Pucovski), Travis Head’s on the bench averaging 40 in Test cricket. They’ve got more than enough.”
