Melbourne, Oct 31: Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has withdrawn from the ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka and has decided to take a "short" break from cricket owing to difficulties experienced by him with regards to his mental health.

Maxwell was part of the playing XI in the first two two T20I matches against Sri Lanka and had also smashed a quickfire fifty in the first match in Adelaide on October 27. D'Arcy Short has been roped in as Maxwell's replacement for the final T20I to be played on Friday.
