    Champions Trophy: Watson Picks Maxwell As 'stand-out' Player, Says 'Australia Will Be Very Hard To Beat'

    ICC Champions Trophy: Former Australia cricketer Shane Watson has backed experienced all-rounder Glenn Maxwell to shine in the ICC Champions Trophy as the Aussies eye their third tournament title.

    Despite being 36 years old and with over 250 international caps across all three formats, Maxwell's recent form in the Big Bash League, where he was one of the two Players of the Series, has led Watson to believe that his best cricket is still ahead of him.

    Australia, the reigning 50-over World Cup champions and currently second in the ODI rankings, are set to face England. However, with only one win in their last five ODIs and key bowlers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc absent from the squad, concerns have arisen about their ability to reclaim the trophy in Pakistan.
