Ponting Backs Maxwell To Overcome Lean Run, Discover Form In Time For T20 WC
T20 World Cup: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has tipped Glenn Maxwell to overcome his lean run and deliver on the big stage at next month’s T20 World Cup, despite a poor Big Bash League (BBL) campaign.
Maxwell, who managed just 76 runs at an average of 15.20 and picked two wickets for Melbourne Stars, apart from dropping a lot of catches in the BBL. He has been rested from the three-match T20I series against Pakistan but will rejoin the squad in Sri Lanka ahead of their T20 World Cup opener against Ireland on February 11.
"He can because he always has. I've coached him a lot and he's a really hard player to read what's going to happen because he can have a week of the best training you've ever seen and then come out and it does not happen. And he could have the world's worst week leading into a game and come out and do something crazy," Ponting was quoted as saying by The West Australian.
