Maxwell recently announced a break from cricket during a press conference after RCB’s loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. He mentioned feeling mentally and physically strained and made the decision to step back from the game. He did not specify the duration of his break but expressed the need to rejuvenate and improve his physical and mental well-being.

Maxwell acknowledged that it was a relatively straightforward decision for him and highlighted the importance of addressing his current state to avoid further decline. He mentioned his struggle to contribute positively with the bat and emphasized the need for someone else to step in and seize the opportunity to make an impact. This is not the first time Maxwell has taken a break due to mental fatigue, and he stressed the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket.
