New Delhi. It has been seven years since Glenn Maxwell played Test cricket. Still he has not given up hope of comeback. Maxwell says that since childhood he had dreamed of playing in the longest format of cricket. He is still seeing that dream even today. Limited overs cricket star Glenn Maxwell may not have worn the 'baggy green' for seven years, but the 36-year-old player said that he still has the desire to play in Test cricket. And if he gives up his dream then it will be injustice to the young Maxwell who dreamed of playing in the longer format.
Maxwell has left his special mark in limited overs cricket. But he has been able to play only seven test matches so far. He played his last Test in 2017 during Australia's tour of Bangladesh. Maxwell told ESPNcricinfo, 'I believe that if I gave up my dream of playing Test cricket, it would be unfair to that young Glenn Maxwell. Who had dreamed of wearing a baggy green cap since childhood at any cost. While there is still a ray of hope, I will keep dreaming this.

'When I grew up, I wanted to play Test cricket only'
It is difficult for Maxwell to make a place in the team in the upcoming series against India. But he hopes that he can return to the Test team for the tour of Sri Lanka in January. He said, 'When I grew up, I wanted to play Test cricket only. I believe that I got a chance to debut in Test cricket a little before time. It all happened very quickly and I didn't know what to do. At that time, I did not have as much experience of playing first-class cricket as I wanted.
