Career path
Who is Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell reached Australia's side through the short formats, collecting ODI and T20I caps in the same year and a Test debut against India the following March, and the batting all-rounder has balanced international cricket with a busy franchise calendar ever since. Melbourne Stars have been his Big Bash League home since the competition's early seasons, following shorter spells with Melbourne Renegades, Delhi Capitals, Hampshire, Mumbai Indians, Surrey and Punjab Kings. He also turns out for Victoria in Australian domestic cricket. In ODIs he has 149 matches, 3,990 runs and 77 wickets behind him, the double return of a right-handed batter who bowls off spin. Another season with Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League is next on his calendar.
