The 37-year-old had a poor outing for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2025. He scored only 48 runs in six innings, with a strike rate below 100, and picked up four wickets before his season was cut short due to a broken finger. The veteran player was not included in the retention list announced by the franchise last month.
“After many unforgettable seasons in the IPL, I’ve decided not to put my name into the auction this year. It’s a big call, and one I make with a lot of gratitude for everything this league has given me. The IPL has helped shape me as a cricketer and as a person,” Maxwell wrote.
