'Smith's return big headache for India' Says Glenn Maxwell

NEW DELHI: Steve Smith's return is a big plus for Australia and a "big headache" for Team India, feels Australia batsman Glenn Maxwell ahead of the blockbuster clash which begins next week.

Smith, along with Warner, was not part of the 2018-19 series against India when Virat Kohli's men won the Test and the ODI series Down Under. The three-match T20I series was tied 1-1 as one of the matches was washed out.

However, both Smith and Warner are part of all the three squads which will take on India in the much-anticipated fixtures beginning November 27. Smith was not part of Australia's last ODI series in England because of the concussion he suffered during a net session.

"To have someone like Steve Smith coming back to our side, it is going to be a big plus for us, a big headache for India. Smith has always scored runs against them," Maxwell said during a select media interaction organised by series official broadcasters Sony. IANS
