Glenn Maxwell has revealed he was wearing his Baggy Green cap as part of a promotional shoot on Tuesday when he received the news of his axing from Australia’s Test squad. he further added that the phone call he received from selector Trevor Hohns that confirmed his omission came while he was wearing his full Test kit.
“It may sound extremely funny but when I got the phone call yesterday I was actually wearing the Baggy Green, as extraordinary as it might sound,” he told SEN’s Whateley program.
“I was doing a shoot for one of the sponsors and we were fully in our whites. And I had the Baggy Green on and got the call while it was on top of my head.”
As it happened, uncapped pair Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne surged into the Test squad after strong performances in the four-day leg of that India tour, leaving Maxwell perplexed.
“I suppose the disappointment from my side is I didn’t get an opportunity to play any cricket over the last couple of months,” he said.
“I had a few offers to play county cricket in England and they were initially knocked back with an opportunity to go and play in India in the A series.
