White-ball wizard Glenn Maxwell\u2019s baggy-green dream remains very much alive, as the Test stocks of another World Cup hero Josh Inglis surge after his deeds in India.<\/p>\n

Both Maxwell and Inglis beat fatigue to peel off 47-ball centuries against what is effectively India\u2019s second XI in the revenue-raising Twenty20 series that followed Australia\u2019s victory in the global tournament, underlining their value as batting aggressors in south Asia.<\/p>\n

Maxwell leaves India with his legacy assured after starring in his second World Cup victory, but it\u2019s in the Test arena where the superstar wants to shine brightest.<\/p>\n

Even before his wondrous feats of the past two months, selectors had told Maxwell he was in their plans for the 2025 tour of Sri Lanka, keeping open a door the freakish batter thought had been shut on him forever after he missed the series in India this year with a broken leg.<\/p>\n

And Inglis\u2019 batting composure in Australia\u2019s hours of need during the World Cup \u2013 particularly when he kept out Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi during a tense semi-final chase against South Africa at Kolkata\u2019s Eden Gardens \u2013 has put him firmly in the panel\u2019s thoughts for Sri Lanka and beyond.<\/p>\n

Maxwell will be 36 when the Australians are due to tour Sri Lanka in early 2025, an age when many would expect him to be one of the most prized guns for hire on the international Twenty20 circuit.<\/p>\n

Though one of the most recognised names in the game\u2019s shortest form, Maxwell cherishes the traditional format \u2013 even if his baggy green has gathered dust at home.<\/p>\n

Maxwell played the last of his seven Tests in 2017, against Bangladesh, but has been part of the current selection panel\u2019s planning for tours of the subcontinent only to be denied by events beyond his control.<\/p>\n

He missed the 2022 series in Pakistan to get married to his wife Vini having planned the wedding around the tour, only for the Pakistan Cricket Board to reschedule the Tests. The couple\u2019s initial wedding day was scuppered by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Months later, he was left heartbroken after Travis Head defied the odds and passed a last-minute fitness test on his hamstring in Sri Lanka, denying Maxwell a fairytale return.<\/p>\n

He was destined to play in the Border-Gavaskar series this year in India but a broken leg suffered in a freak accident at a friend\u2019s 50th birthday celebrations last November consigned those plans to the dustbin.<\/p>\n

With his dynamic strokeplay and crafty off-spin, Maxwell\u2019s skills are invaluable on spin-friendly pitches on the subcontinent, particularly treacherous surfaces where the need to score briskly overrides traditional conventions of defence.<\/p>\n

Until Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green cashed in on a batter\u2019s paradise in Ahmedabad this year, Maxwell had been one of only two Australians to score a Test century in India since the infamous \u201cHomework-gate\u201d series of 2013. The other was Steve Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is just mentally and a little bit physically, he\u2019s come back from quite a bad injury and 50-over cricket tends to take it out of you,\u201d T20 captain Matthew Wade said of Maxwell\u2019s state of exhaustion after his century in Guwahati.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s ready to go home, and a performance like that maybe didn\u2019t happen if he didn\u2019t know he was getting the opportunity to go home and rest. I\u2019m really happy for him, his hundredth game. He found a way to bring his best and we\u2019re happy he can go home and be with his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Maxwell, Inglis was a member of the Test squad in Sri Lanka last year. It is possible that by 2025, Inglis may find himself chosen as a batter for the tour even if Alex Carey keeps the gloves.<\/p>\n

Despite his dumping from the 50-over side, Carey remains the selectors\u2019 first-choice wicketkeeper in Tests due to the neatness of his work behind the stumps \u2013 especially to Nathan Lyon. But at the World Cup, Inglis provided hard evidence to back up the estimations of selectors with the calm manner in which he negotiated several tricky batting assignments.<\/p>\n

Apart from the showdown with the Proteas in Kolkata, Inglis made a decisive half-century against Sri Lanka at Lucknow in a game Australia simply had to win, and also chimed in with swift runs against New Zealand in a tight clash in Dharamshala.<\/p>\n

Importantly, Inglis demonstrated the ability to use his attacking skills while also showing calmness and a sure eye in defence, trusting himself to play spin off the back foot rather than propping forward as Carey has done at times, most recently in the Chennai Cup game against India.<\/p>\n
