Glenn Maxwell was spotted doing keeping drills during a training session on Thursday morning, although skipper Aaron Finch has previously indicated David Warner would likely be the one to stand in behind the stumps should Wade be unfit.

The team will now need to work quickly to ensure the virus doesn’t spread further through the squad.
Australia’s clash between England looms as a must-win for both sides, particularly after England was stunned by Ireland in a rain-hit contest on Tuesday night.
