AUS vs IND: Glenn Maxwell in complete hopes for featuring in T20I series

While Cricket Australia (CA) has named the squad for the first two matches- with Glenn Maxwell being excluded- he remains positive that even though the chances will be slim, he could return later on in the series.

“I think having the surgery last week sort of gives me a little bit more hope of playing some part in that India series, if I can get myself right. The only reason I had the surgery was that the options they gave me were: miss that series completely and have no surgery, or have surgery and it gives me a slim chance to hopefully play a part,” Maxwell was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

Even if Glenn maxwell fails to be completely fit and is declared unfit for the T20I series, he is going to partake in the Big Bash League (BBL).
“And if not, I’ll be ready earlier for the BBL, and I think it leaves me in good stead to get the rest of my body right,” he said.

The five match T20I series between Australia and India is going to begin October 29, which is just three days after the conclusion of the three-match ODI series.
