Aussie allrounder Glenn Maxwell set to return for T20I series against India

The five-match T20I series, to be played after the ongoing ODIs, will see the 37-year-old Maxwell and Beardman available for selection for the last three games, while pace stalwart Josh Hazlewood and bowling allrounder Sean Abbott will be available for the first two and three games respectively.

Maxwell suffered a wrist fracture while bowling in the nets ahead of Australia’s three-match T20I series in New Zealand in September.

Beardman is a notable pick for the series against India following the 20-year-old’s commendable performance in the five List A games and two Big Bash matches he has played.
