Ricky Ponting's Critique on Glenn Maxwell's Test Exclusion

-


In a surprising turn of events, Australian cricket legend Ricky Ponting has raised eyebrows over the omission of all-rounder Glenn Maxwell from Australia's Test series against Pakistan. Despite Maxwell's significant contributions to Australia's 2023 ODI World Cup victory, Ponting contends that the cricketer falls short in the first-class run department. Maxwell, who last participated in a Test match for Australia in 2017, was left out of the squad for the three-match Test series against Pakistan, prompting Ponting's candid assessment.

Ponting questions Maxwell's Test omission.

Ponting, speaking to 7news.com.au, emphasized the necessity of amassing substantial first-class runs as a prerequisite for Test selection. He unequivocally stated that Maxwell does not currently merit a spot in the Test side but could potentially earn one by showcasing his prowess in the first-class arena. Maxwell's Test record comprises seven matches, with 339 runs at an average of 26.08, and a top score of 104.

Despite Ponting's skepticism, Maxwell remains hopeful and determined to resurrect his Test career. In an interview with SEN, Maxwell acknowledged the fierce competition within the Australian Test side, particularly as the reigning World Test champions. He highlighted his potential as a valuable asset in subcontinent tours and expressed optimism about securing a Test opportunity in the future.

The ongoing Australia vs. Pakistan series witnessed the first match unfold at the Optus Stadium in Perth, where Australia asserted dominance by posting an impressive total of 487 runs, fueled by a stellar century from David Warner. As the cricketing world debates Maxwell's Test future, the unfolding series adds another layer of intrigue to the dynamics of Australia's squad composition.
