Glenn Maxwell impressed with rare abilities of Tim David: He is not an one dimensional hitter

Australia are scheduled to play against India in a 3-match T20I series ahead of the World Cup. The Aaron Finch-led team is expected to play Singaporean-Australian Tim David in at least one of the games.

Australia are set to play India in a three-match T20I series as a prepatory campaign for the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in October and November. The defending champions, who are set to be the hosts of the tournament, have made just one change in their squad, bringing in Tim David in place of spinner Mitchell Swepson.

David, who has not represented Australia till now is a highly sought after commodity in world cricket. The globe-trotter has consistently done well in the franchise leagues across the world and has made a name for himself as one of the best finishers in the world.

Speaking about David, another big hitter from the Australian team, Glenn Maxwell, said that David's abilities were rare.

"One of the rare things he has which there isn't a whole lot of in Australia is just raw power," Glenn Maxwell said. "He's able to muscle the ball, much in the same way Stoinis and Mitch Marsh do it. He's probably developed his game a little bit over the last two years where he's got a bit more off-side [shots] so he's not a one-dimensional hitter, he's able to clear the boundary in different areas," he told ESPNcricinfo in an interview.

David was one of the biggest buys in the late phases of the IPL auction, a tournament where he came to life. After getting dropped in the mid season from the playing line-up, David returned to play some stellar innings, scoring 186 runs at a staggering strike rate of 216.

"He does it against spin and quicks which is something that's really impressive and something that impressed me during the IPL as well watching him go about his business," Maxwell said.
