We have started picking specialists inste of regulars: Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell on Tuesday said, "For past two years, I feel we have turned a corner in T20 cricket and our improved results are an alibi to it. re is a change in way that we have started looking at game. We have started picking up specialists inste of regular players that play ODI, which I feel also gives players a specialist role and t just regular roll-out batting line up." He ded, "w that we have specialist roles, I feel mindset of team has also changed and it is working in our favour. This also helps Finchy (FInch) relax a bit kwing that right guys are re at right spot." He also said that it was necessary to give captain, Aaron Finch his in this format. "You don't want him to be surrounded by too many opinions since re is time in this format. You have to let him be, have some time to think and talk to bowler. If he comes to you, you answer honestly," Maxwell said.
