Australia's chief selector, George Bailey, has suggested that all-rounder Glenn Maxwell could potentially take on wicket-keeping duties during the T20 World Cup 2026 if needed. Maxwell, who has not kept wickets professionally in 15 years but did so in his youth, is seen as a versatile option by Bailey. This consideration comes as Australia has selected a spin-heavy squad with Josh Inglis as the sole designated wicketkeeper, led by Mitchell Marsh.
