In early 2025, Australia will compete against Sri Lanka in the Warne-Muralitharan Trophy. Winning this trophy is essential for Australia as it will determine their qualification for the World Test Championship final later in the 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 avoided getting involved in the dispute between Mitchell Johnson and David Warner. Instead, he chose to give a positive 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.
