MELBOURNE : Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is targeting a return to cricket in Victoria's next Sheffield Shield match against South Australia after a long rehabilitation from a broken leg.
The 34-year-old has been sidelined since the T20 World Cup in November after fracturing his left fibula at a friend's 50th birthday party in Melbourne, which robbed him of a chance to push for selection in the ongoing test series in India. Victoria coach Chris Rogers said Maxwell was"really close" to returning for his home state against Queensland this week.
"I was pretty happy for him to play a bit like Darren Lehmann used to and just walk between the wickets and stand at first slip," Rogers told Australian broadcaster Seven Network.Victoria's next Sheffield clash is against South Africa from Feb. 20. Though missing the test series, Maxwell will hope to join Australia's one-day squad in India next month for three ODIs.Source: Reuters
