\u201cAt RCB, culture isn\u2019t just about the middle of the journey, where everyone is together. It\u2019s about building strong bonds at the start and honouring them at the end. Induction and exit are key for cultural connection, and we\u2019re mindful of these phases,\u201d said Bobat in a statement issued by RCB to IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLast season, Andy and I felt incredibly fortunate to be part of a brilliant environment where, even under pressure, everyone focused on what was best for the team. Saying goodbye to players is never easy, especially with so many shared memories.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhile it\u2019s sad to part ways, it\u2019s also an opportunity to bring in new heroes for RCB and our fans. We respect every player\u2019s journey with us, and as we move into the next phase, we\u2019re excited to keep building a special team culture. Lots of love, and keep supporting, he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Wednesday, Maxwell, who scored 1266 runs in 52 games for RCB, including 12 half-centuries, had said about the healthy conversation he had with the RCB think-tank on ESPN\u2019s Around the Wicket podcast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I got a phone call from Mo Bobat and Andy Flower. It was a Zoom call, they sort of explained to me the decision not to be retained. It was actually a very beautiful exit meeting. We ended up talking about the game for almost half an hour \u2013 talking about the strategy, and looking to go forward. I was really happy with that.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"If every team did that, I think it would probably make the relationship smoother. I could not speak highly enough of the way that they dealt with the whole situation. They are changing a few of their staff as well so they needed to get that sorted before they started talking to players.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Maxwell\u2019s comments are in complete contrast to what his teammate Mitchell Starc, a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL 2024-winning team, has experienced. Starc was roped in for a hefty INR 24.75 crore and took 17 wickets in 14 games in KKR winning a third title, but has not been retained by the franchise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
