[Saba Sports News] In a humorous incident captured on video, Australian cricket stars Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa engaged in an amusing exchange with a taxi driver who, despite being a big cricket fan, initially didn’t recognize them. The video, shot in the USA a few years ago, resurfaced and gained widespread attention on social media when it was recently reposted on X (previously Twitter).

In the video, Maxwell inquires if the driver follows cricket, to which the driver responds affirmatively. However, it takes some time before he realizes that his passengers are the World Cup-winning cricketers, leading to a comical revelation.
Meanwhile, the Australian cricket team is preparing for a comprehensive series against the West Indies, involving two Test matches, three ODIs, and three T20Is. The Test matches are scheduled for January 17 and 25, while the ODIs and T20Is will commence on February 2 and 9, respectively. Following a commanding Test series win against Pakistan, Australia aims to continue its winning streak against the West Indies, who have announced a squad with several uncapped players for the Test series.
This trend of selecting inexperienced squads has raised concerns among cricket pundits. Former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh expressed his worries, particularly about South Africa’s choice of a similar squad for their series against New Zealand. Waugh, quoted by the Times of India, suggested that New Zealand should reconsider playing the series, perceiving it as a sign of disrespect towards New Zealand cricket.
