Glenn Maxwell and Steve Smith's T20 careers are not over, George Bailey makes it clear

Not seeing the names of Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Steve Smith in the squad for the T20 series against Bangladesh in June, many people assumed that these three players might have been dropped from Australia's T20 team. But Chief Selector George Bailey made it clear that this is not the case, this decision is not to remove anyone.

Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood will also not play in this series because the upcoming Test schedule is quite busy and it is important to keep them fresh. Maxwell and Stoinis have been the heroes of the 2021 T20 World Cup, everyone knows their role in the team. But after Australia's performance in the recent World Cup, the selectors felt that it was time to test the youngsters in an international environment.

George Bailey's eyes are actually on the 2028 Home T20 World Cup and Los Angeles Olympics. If new players are not prepared for such big events now, where will the team come from on time. So for now, the seniors are at ease, the door is not closed.
