Glenn Maxwell remains a key member of Australia's team for their upcoming Twenty20 World Cup title defence despite a recent poor run of form with the bat, according to paceman Josh Hazlewood. Maxwell's score of eight in Australia's warm-up series loss to England in Canberra on Wednesday was his highest in his six most recent T20 innings, which have netted him only 16 runs. Hazlewood, a team mate of Maxwell's for Australia and in the Indian Premier League, had no doubt that the Victorian's value would be apparent again before too long, however.

History beckons for title-holders Australia at T20 World Cup
Aaron Finch's men enjoy the advantage of being the only winners of cricket's shortest format to have a crack at defending the title on home territory since the T20 World Cup started in 2007.

Finch, who recently stood down as one-day skipper to focus on T20s, suggested they will be all guns blazing in defence of the trophy. "If in doubt, be overly aggressive. That is how we want to play," he said. "At times that is going to come with high risk and high reward. At times it comes with no reward. That is just a part of T20."
