CA fines Maxwell

Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was Saturday fined by his team for his "disrespectful" comments about teammate Matthew Wade on the eve of their opening one-day international with New Zealand in Sydney.

Maxwell said on Thursday he felt batting below Wade at No.6 for Victoria in the Sheffield Shield hurt his selection chances for Australia's third Test against South Africa last week.

“Everyone was disappointed in his comments," Australia skipper Steve Smith told reporters Saturday. "I thought what he said was very disrespectful to a teammate and his Victorian captain. The leadership group got together and we decided to fine Glenn. We thought that was a sufficient punishment."
