Glenn Maxwell Set To Quit Melbourne Stars Captaincy Role
Glenn Maxwell: Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has decided to relinquish the captaincy of the Melbourne Stars. The announcement comes in the wake of the Stars' failure to secure a spot in the finals for the fourth consecutive year, says a report.
According to cricket.com.au Maxwell shared his decision with the Stars' squad after a narrow seven-run defeat to the Hobart Hurricanes in their final game of KFC BBL 13. Despite a commendable effort in the middle of the season, where they secured four consecutive victories, the Stars stumbled in their last three games, sealing their fate outside the finals race.
The 33-year-old Maxwell took charge of the Stars ahead of BBL 08, succeeding John Hastings as captain. In his five seasons at the helm, Maxwell led the team to the final in his first two seasons but couldn't secure the elusive title, succumbing to the Renegades and the Sixers in BBL 08 and BBL 09, respectively.
