Glenn Maxwell overlooked for Australia's T20 series against England
Glenn Maxwell was left out of Australia's T20 squad for the series against England, ending a nine-year absence from Test cricket that began in 2017.
Glenn Maxwell was not selected for Australia's upcoming T20 series against England. The 38-year-old has not played a Test since 2017 and last featured in the shortest format for Australia in 2024. Maxwell is currently listed with Hyderabad Kingsmen in the PSL.
Australia will play the T20 series in England next month. Maxwell's exclusion follows a period of limited white-ball opportunities at international level. The veteran all-rounder remains active in franchise cricket across multiple leagues.
Selectors have not commented on whether the decision reflects form, workload management or a shift in selection priorities for the shortest format.
CricHubb Take
Maxwell's continued absence from the national T20 side suggests Australia have settled on a younger core ahead of the 2026 World Cup cycle.
