Glenn Maxwell has been drafted into Australia's Test squad on the tour of Sri Lanka
Glenn Maxwell has been drafted into Australia’s Test squad on the tour of Sri Lanka. The Victorian allrounder was called up on Thursday night ahead of the opening Test match in Galle next week as Travis Head recovers from a minor hamstring strain.
Earlier, Head was added to Australia’s bulging injury list, ruled out of the fifth and final ODI in Colombo on Friday with a hamstring problem. It is understood Head had run more than 15km during game three, with the heavy grounds and humid conditions causing havoc with recovery. Fast bowler Mitchell Starc and Steve Smith also remain on the sidelines for the dead-rubber match, after Sri Lanka wrapped up the series with their four-run win on Wednesday.
“There’s a lot of them,” Australian white-ball captain Aaron Finch said when asked about the team’s injuries. “Travis Head will miss the next game with a hamstring injury.
