**Melbourne, Australia** – Glenn Maxwell is poised to make his return to the Sheffield Shield, with Victoria captain Will Sutherland confirming the all-rounder could play a couple of games early in the summer.

This comes as welcome news for Australian fans, as Maxwell’s return to the Shield is seen as a crucial step in his preparation for the Sri Lanka Test tour in late January.

The 35-year-old has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the IPL, but his expected participation in the Shield will provide valuable match practice and help him regain full fitness.

While the exact dates of his return haven’t been specified, Sutherland’s confirmation marks a positive development for Maxwell and the Australian team.
