MELBOURNE: Star Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has admitted he could miss his side’s upcoming ODI series against India and may enter this year’s ICC World Cup with very little cricket under his belt.
Maxwell is still battling ankle soreness from the leg injury he suffered at a friend’s birthday party last year and is currently in Australia awaiting the birth of his first child.
While Maxwell is still harbouring aspirations of making a fleeting appearance during Australia’s ODI series in India later this month, the 34-year-old maintains being fit for the World Cup is his primary focus.
“I still want to play some part of that India series,” Maxwell said.
“But I’m not feeling any pressure on it. The selectors and the staff have been brilliant with me as well. They don’t want to put too much pressure on me to sort of set that date because they know they’ve got a bit of extra time before the World Cup.” (www.icc-cricket.com)
