Australia had back-to-back ODI series wins against India and Pakistan en route to the World Cup, with Maxwell playing a key role, scoring three and a half centuries in a 5–0 series victory over United. United Arab Emirates.

A stint in Lancashire also helped Mega adjust to the British conditions ahead of his event.

“I think the way he has turned games around for us in the last couple of months has been impressive with the bat and then he is also an option to bowl ten overs,” Cummins was quoted as saying by ICC media.

“He is also able to get run-outs and take catches. You get all three facets out of him and he is always there in tough situations. He is probably our sixth bowler but on a good day he can get through all ten. He’s in good form,”

the fast bowler added

The holder has won his two warm-up games before the World Cup (against England and Sri Lanka) and is now back as one of his favourites to win.

“Fans always expect us to do well and we are the same. Luckily, we have had a lot of success in the last 30 or 40 years so we are confident. We have played consistent cricket for the last few months. It can be hard to go from Test cricket to ODI cricket and adjust and build a settled team. But in the last six months, we have built a special team and everyone has found their roles.”

said Cummins

The 25-year-old said they have built a special team in the last six months.

Australia will begin their title defence against Afghanistan on June 1 at Bristol.

“If you asked us six or 12 months ago who would be in the side, there would have been far more question marks. Everyone feels like we are all in a good place, we have played a lot of games now. We are ready to play. We will just go through the usual routines now, nothing specific, just some low-key bits to make sure we are ready,”

said Cummins
