Glenn Maxwell will lead Melbourne Stars in the upcoming Big Bash League, having returned from his break to deal with mental health difficulties. We're pleased to see Glenn in green and ready to lead our side with a big season ahead. He's an incredible talent and a key part of our club but health and well-being comes first and it's important that he's been able to take some time away to focus on that," Head coach David Hussey said. Maxwell started playing club cricket three weeks ago after a brief break and appeared for Fitzroy-Doncaster. A detailed statement about Maxwell being the skipper was announced on the official Twitter handle of Melbourne Stars.
Maxwell who is one of the best all-rounders in international cricket is expected to fetch big money at the upcoming IPL auction. The IPL auction, is just a one-day affair, which will be held in Kolkata. The franchises have sent the final list of players, trimmed from the original 971 to 332, including 19 Indian capped players. A total of 73 slots are available for the eight teams to fill up, 29 of which could be overseas players.
