Glenn Maxwell Takes Indefinite Break From IPL 2024, Explains Decision To RCB

Glenn Maxwell Takes Indefinite Break From IPL 2024, Explains Decision To RCB

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has decided to take an indefinite break from IPL 2024 over 'mental and physical fatigue'.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has decided to take an indefinite break from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign. Maxwell revealed the news as he spoke to media during the press conference after RCB's bitter defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday night. Maxwell, who has courted plenty of criticism owing to his poor form with the bat, wasn't part of the XI against SRH, with Will Jacks taking his place. After the game, Maxwell explained that he asked skipper Faf du Plessis to try someone else himself.

In the press conference, Maxwell said that he isn't in a good 'mental and physical space' at the moment. Hence, decided to take a break. The Australian all-rounder didn't specify the length for which he decides to sit out.

"For me, personally, it was a pretty easy decision," Maxwell said after RCB's sixth defeat in seven matches. "I went to Faf [du Plessis] and the coaches after the last game and said I felt it was probably time we tried someone else. I have been in this situation in the past where you can keep playing and get yourself deeper into a hole. I think now is actually a good time for me to give myself a bit of a mental and physical break, get my body right. If I'm required to get in during the tournament, I can hopefully get back into a really solid mental and physical space where I can still have an impact.

"We have had a pretty big deficiency straight after the powerplay, which has been my area of strength over the last couple of seasons. I felt like I wasn't contributing in a positive way with the bat, and with the results and the position we find ourselves on the table, I think it's a good time to give someone else an opportunity to show their wares, and hopefully, someone can make that spot their own."

It isn't the first time Maxwell has taken a break from the game over mental fatigue. With things not going right for the veteran cricketer, he decided it's best for the franchise to use other options while he rejuvinates and looks to bounce back with strength.
