Cricket Australia selection chairman Trevor Hohns has denied CA owes Glenn Maxwell an apology over a claim that the destructive all-rounder was poorly advised not to play county cricket last year.

Maxwell, 30, hasn’t played a Test since Australia’s tour of Bangladesh in 2017, and has yet again been overlooked for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka.

The Victorian has claimed that he knocked back offers to play in England last winter on the basis that he would be selected for an Australia A tour of India, which was viewed as something of a selection trial for October’s series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.
