Glenn Maxwell signs Melbourne Stars

MELBOURNE: Australia's limited-over specialist and one of the best all-rounders in the world, Glenn Maxwell, on Friday signed a new four-year contract with Big Bash League (BBL) side Melbourne Stars. The 33-year-old cricketer has committed himself to the side until the end of BBL-15.

Maxwell has been a marquee player in the BBL, having featured in every season of the competition since its inception in 2012/13.

Maxwell, who is placed third on the all-time BBL runs-scoring list and smashed a record-breaking unbeaten 154 from just 64 deliveries (100 off just 41 balls) in the final round of BBL-11 this year, is regarded as one of the best T20 players in the world.

He combines his 360-degree batting, handy off spin, athletic fielding and leadership abilities to stamp his class on T20 cricket worldwide. IANS
