The explosive batsman Glenn Maxwell has returned to the Australian team for the ODI and T20 series on South Africa tour. Maxwell took a break from the game during the T20 series against Sri Lanka in October last year due to mental health reasons. After this, he told himself to be available to visit India in January this year. But Maxwell was not included in the 14-man squad for the tour of India and was replaced by Marnus Labuschagne.
