Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell opened up about teammate Josh Hazlewood's comments regarding the possibility of losing to Scotland to knock England out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Maxwell shared that he received texts from English players, revealing a sense of panic in the English camp.

In the lead-up to Australia's forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup Super Eights encounter against Bangladesh, Maxwell shared a fascinating story about England's reaction to Australia's game against Scotland. The English players were nervously watching the match from their dressing room, knowing that their destiny in the tournament was dependent on Australia's performance.

"Yeah, just a couple of texts here and there. It was actually quite funny. There was a lot of chat out in the ground like 'Are we doing this? Are we seriously going to let England back in?' It was a pretty interesting game. We just didn't bat well at the start. Just felt that out rhythm wasn't all out. 

"When I got out, it was an interesting stage. Head's back was sort of clearing up a little bit. It could have gone either way but the Stoinis came out and absolutely pumped it. That sort of put the game beyond doubt." Maxwell said via ESPNcricinfo

Maxwell claimed that the panic reached a point where English players were even booking flights and cancelling plans as the game went down to the wire.

There was almost this interesting part where they dropped Tim David's catch when there were 3 required off 3. When it gets down to the last 2-3 balls, who knows what's going to happen? Luckily enough, we got over the line and luckily enough, they got through. 

"But I heard it was absolutely chaos. They were in the hotel and there was a fair bit of panic. Guys booking flights and cancelling etc. Would have been fun being a fly on the wall watching that."
