Glenn Maxwell’s stock in international cricket has continued its slide, with the enigmatic talent left to carry the drinks for Victoria in Australia’s domestic Sheffield Shield. The shock omission for the match against Tasmania at the Melbourne Cricket Ground this week follows his exclusion from the one-day international team for tours of Sri Lanka and South Africa. But he has little chance of convincing national selectors of his worth if unable to sway those at state level. Following that performance, Maxwell remarked that 2016 was the year he thought he would “break open world cricket”. As the year draws to a close, Maxwell faces the far humbler goal of breaking back into his state side.
