While not being considered for the five-test home series against India, Maxwell could be picked specially for the conditions in Sri Lanka for two tests slated for January and February next year. Maxwell has starred with bat and ball in Australia's white ball teams since coming back from his broken leg last year.
Selectors will pick the squad following Australia A's two games against India A, the first of which started in Mackay on Thursday.
