Glenn Maxwell has revealed that the Australian squad will "move on pretty quickly" after their elimination from the T20 World Cup, crediting the non-stop cricket schedule leaves little time to dwell on the tournament.
The Australians managed a win over Afghanistan, putting them one step closer to qualifying for the semi-finals at their home tournament, but England's win over Sri Lanka put the hosts to the sword.
With matches against England and Australia's Big Bash tournament on the horizon, Maxwell admitted that there isn't much time to think back on the World Cup disappointment.
“You can‘t dwell on it. I think you move on pretty quickly,” Maxwell said.
“We‘ve got a one day series against England probably 24 hours later and then we've got the Big Bash and then we've got four day cricket.
“Cricket never stops so you don‘t get time to dwell. Maybe when you retire you think back to it would have been nice to win that but it doesn't mean anything.
“I wish we had of won but we didn‘t.”
“We were so excited to get the tournament under way, it was the longest lead-in we've ever had, 15 games in all sorts of places and some pretty average conditions,” he said.
“Once that 15th game was finished against India at the Gabba, the feeling was almost a sigh of relief, and now we can start our tournament.
“We were fresh, pumped up and ready to go, and they just had a player who was better on the day, and that can happen."
Australia's first one day match against England gets underway on Thursday, November 17, to be played at Adelaide Oval.
