Since joining the Stars in BBL 2, Maxwell has played 123 matches and made 3,193 runs in green, establishing himself as one the league\u2019s greatest ever players.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Maxwell, who is the third-highest run-scorer in BBL history, endured a poor season where he made just 76 runs in eight innings and claimed two wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While the 37-year-old was out of contract at the end of BBL|15, he said it was an easy decision to continue his career in green.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe Melbourne Stars have been a massive part of my cricket career and I\u2019m really passionate about this team having success,\u201d Maxwell said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think this current group is building towards something special and I\u2019m confident we\u2019re in a place to contend for the title in the next two seasons,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really happy with how our list is coming together for BBL 16. We felt like the group took some big steps forward this season, so we\u2019re excited to have that core coming together again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cGlenn has obviously been one of the best T20 players in the world for a long period of time and his commitment to the Stars is really valuable to us,\" Melbourne Stars\u2019 T20 High Performance Manager, Clint McKay, said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Stars have also extended young gun Campbell Kellaway for another two years. The left-handed batter played all 11 games this season and showed a glimpse of the future for Stars fans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSigning Campbell was just as important as he adds some great stability to our top order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe proved himself at the level this season and I\u2019ve got no doubt he will make a lot of runs for us for many years to come.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also excited to see another year of development in Austin\u2019s game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a bright young talent who will benefit greatly from another year in our program.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also excited to see another year of development in Austin\u2019s game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
