Doug Bollinger Pushes For Glenn Maxwell's Inclusion Into Australia’s Test Squad

ODI World Cup: Former Australia fast-bowler Doug Bollinger has pushed for Glenn Maxwell’s inclusion into Australia’s Test squad, saying why the big-hitting all-rounder wasn’t given a crack in the longer format for the first Test against Pakistan to start the international men’s home summer.

Maxwell played the last of his seven Tests in 2017, but calls have increased for him to get a return into the longer format, especially with recent white-ball form being great. The right-handed batter slammed two centuries in Australia’s victorious Men’s ODI World Cup campaign – a 40-ball hundred against Netherlands and an astonishing 201 not out against Afghanistan, as well as 47-ball ton in third T20I against India at Guwahati.

“I even said to a few people, why wouldn't they pick ‘Maxi’ in the Test squad the way he's batting? He's played Test cricket before. In Australian conditions, it’d be interesting. Who cares (where you put him), put everyone up the order.”
