There's always going to be people wanting to be there and I made no secret that I desperately wanted to be on that tour, but I can completely understand their reasoning.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"The fact that they're already in the World Test Championship final, they've got a couple of Tests in Sri Lanka and there's going to be some sub-continent tours over the next few years, so they get to look a few new guys in those conditions.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"What an experience for those guys to go over there - Cooper Connolly on his first Test tour - I certainly would've made the same decision as they have,\" Maxwell was quoted as saying by Fox Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The veteran all-rounder also said he was in no mood to take a call on his Test career future after smashing 90 off 52 balls in Melbourne Stars' BBL derby win over the Melbourne Renegades. \"I am not making any future plans right now, I\u2019m looking forward to a week off and then Sunday (the Stars\u2019 last home and away game).\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about his whirlwind knock, Maxwell said, \u201cEverything wasn\u2019t coming off, I think I was probably getting every second or third. With the way the wicket was playing, I was just trying to put them under enough pressure where I was getting either an overpitched delivery or a little bit wider where I could throw my hands or get some sort of leverage on.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The veteran all-rounder also said he was in no mood to take a call on his Test career future after smashing 90 off 52 balls in Melbourne Stars' BBL derby win over the Melbourne Renegades. \"I am not making any future plans right now, I\u2019m looking forward to a week off and then Sunday (the Stars\u2019 last home and away game).\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
