Maxwell had taken a break from international cricket citing mental health last year and returned to competitive cricket during the Big Bash League 2019-20.

The right-handed batsman later revealed that it was his girlfriend who identified his mental health issues that forced him to openly come out and reveal his issue.

"I think I was pretty cooked. I decided to take some time off and a big reason as to why I took that time away was because I was mentally and physically ruined from I think it was eight months on the road and living out of a suitcase," Maxwell had said.

"It was actually my partner who suggested I speak to someone, she was the first person who noticed it. Once I had that initial conversation it was a huge weight off my shoulders."

Maxwell helped Melbourne Stars reach the Big Bash League 2019-20 final. The Aussie will be in action in IPL 2020 for Kings XI Punjab as the franchise bought him for Rs 10.75 crore.
