Australia batter Glenn Maxwell is hoping to make a return to Test format with the series in sub-continent at the end of the World Test Championship.
Australia will be playing against Sri Lanka at the beginning of 2025 to play in the Warne-Muralitharan Trophy which would the crucial for the Aussies to run into the World Test Championship final later that year.
“I’m quite understanding the circumstances of the current side. They’re playing some really good cricket, they’re World Test champions,” Maxwell said.

“There’s not a lot of spots up for grabs as far as Tests at home, but I know that when it does come to a sub-continent tour I can be a real viable option to hopefully fill a role in that side,”

“I don’t think there’s another sub-continent tour until early 2025. So, I’ll keep trying to plug away and hopefully get an opportunity at that stage,”
Meanwhile, Maxwell refused to get drawn into controversy between Mitchell Johnson and David Warner and instead opted to provide a glowing endorsement for his fellow World Cup winner.
“I'm not going to throw my name into some headlines about this,” Maxwell said.
“But Davey's been an absolute champion of Australian cricket for a long period of time and the selectors were pretty clear on what they thought of it (selecting him). I'm looking forward to seeing Davey in that first Test and him making a lot of runs this summer," he added.
