Maxwell has reached a higher plain in the one-day format while helping Australia turn the tables on world champions England.

Maxwell’s 108 in a brilliant 212-run partnership with Alex Carey drove Australia to a three-wicket win in Manchester on Wednesday and a 2-1 series victory. “Everything pretty much went to plan, the way our partnership built was outstanding,” said Maxwell. “I feel like I’ve always batted better for Australia when we’ve been in a bit of trouble.”
