Glenn Maxwell: News

Exhilarating as well exasperating—that is Glenn Maxwell. One of the most exciting cricketers in the modern era, Australia's Maxwell made the indescribable shots a routine when he got going. He made field settings inconsequential because of the way he can switch. At his best, he was the X factor that could change the game for the team he was playing for. Maxwell became a player to watch for with his blazing fifties and hundreds in the domestic circuit. After making his first-class debut in the 2010-11 season for Victoria, he started making waves with his 19 balls 51 in the Ryobi Cup. Maxwell continued to impress with a fifty against India and a hundred against South Africa in the Emerging Players Tournament in 2011. He began his international career in an ODI against Afghanistan in 2012. With his consistent domestic excellence coupled with his form in the limited-overs teams, Maxwell finally got to wear the baggy green in 2013 against India. However, he failed to impress. His best moment in the national colors came in the 2015 World Cup, where he scored 324 runs at an unprecedented strike rate of 182.02. Maxwell can bowl utility right-arm off-spin as well.
