The Australians have opted for just one reserve batsman in their squad, staying faithful to Peter Handscomb, meaning Maxwell has again been overlooked. The right-hander was a part of the Test side last year and was called in as cover ahead of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane,
before returning to the JLT Sheffield Shield and dominating in first-class cricket. All indications are that, if batting reinforcements are needed during the Test series, the competition's leading run-scorer so far this season, would be near the front of the list for a recall. Instead, he'll take part in the T20 tri-series before returning to Shield cricket with Victoria.
