Glenn Maxwell, an Australian international player, has decided to leave the lucrative Twenty20 cricket competition and participate in next month’s Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions in Abu Dhabi.
The Punjab Kings purchased the explosive hitter for 42 million rupees ($467, 000) for the previous season, but he only returned with 48 runs and four wickets in seven games. He was then released by the franchise in November.

Maxwell, who has participated in the IPL since 2012, claims that it has helped him develop his game.
The 37-year-old made the big call in a statement on Instagram, “I make it with a lot of gratitude for everything this league has given me.”
“The IPL has helped me develop both mentally and physically. I’ve had the opportunity to represent incredible franchises, compete against world-class players, and demonstrate unmatched fan fervor.
“India will leave me a lasting impression on the challenges, the energy, and the memories.”
Last week, Andre Russell and Faf du Plessis both declared themselves out of the IPL 2026, with the former West Indies all-rounder joining the coaching staff for the Kolkata Knight Riders and the former South African captain opting to play in the Pakistan Super League.
On December 16, the 2026 IPL will hold an auction.
