Cricinfo - Nic Maddinson's Path Back to Test Cricket and T20 Career Revival
Cricinfo Highlights Nic Maddinson's Journey
New Delhi [India], August 21: Nic Maddinson's ambitions of returning to Test cricket are stronger than ever as he gears up to bring his impressive Sheffield Shield form back to New South Wales. Following a winter return to Sydney, Maddinson is also eager to reignite his T20 career after joining Sydney Thunder.
Remarkable Sheffield Shield Performance
Last season, Maddinson was a standout in the latter half of the Sheffield Shield for Victoria, smashing three centuries in three matches. This performance was all the more remarkable given that he missed the first part of the season due to injury.
Return to Sydney and Future Aspirations
His decision to return to Sydney, where his career initially took off, was influenced by a desire to capitalize on his current form. These performances have started to stir talk of a possible Test recall for Maddinson, who last donned the Baggy Green in 2016-17 against South Africa and Pakistan.
Looking Ahead
His previous stint in Test cricket was brief and disappointing, managing just 27 runs in four innings after the selectors made sweeping changes to the batting order. Yet, the idea of a return to the highest level is something Maddinson contemplates often.
