Cricketer Maxwell dropped from Yorkshire team
Leeds: Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell has been dropped from the Yorkshire Vikings Twenty20 team for disciplinary reasons.
It marked a premature end to the all-rounder’s stint in the English domestic T20 competition with Yorkshire failing to reach the quarterfinals despite an impressive eight-wicket win over Birmingham in their last match on Friday.
“It was just unprofessional behaviour and I don’t wish to add anything further. It has been dealt with and we have moved on and the slate is clean. As soon as the decision was made, we cracked on,” Yorkshire coach and former Australia quick Jason Gillespie was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
Despite some moments of brilliance, Maxwell has largely struggled to make an impression with the bat lately, registering 229 runs at an average of 20.82 in 12 innings during the T20 competition and just 25 runs at an average of 8.33 in two County Championship matches.
The 26-year-old was originally scheduled to join Australia A in India but had his stay with the Vikings extended when teammate and close friend Aaron Finch underwent foot surgery earlier this month. The Australian failed to turn up for Friday’s game against Birmingham Bears.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
