Maxwell geared up

Set to make his Test debut against India, dashing Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has already chalked out his plans against spinners, and feels his brief experience of playing in Indian conditions will hold him in good stead in the upcoming four-Test series.

Maxwell was named as the main spinning all-rounder in Australia’s 17-member Test squad to tour India, which means in all likelyhood he will earn a baggy green on the trip.

“I’ve thought about how I’m going to be playing spinners over there,” said Maxwell, who visited India in 2010 for a training camp as part of the Centre of Excellence side, and also enjoyed a short stint with Delhi Daredevils.

“I’ve been lucky enough to play over there a little bit, I had the Academy a couple of years ago and had the IPL experience last year.”
