"Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has opted out of next month's Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions in Abu Dhabi, ending a 13-season stint in the lucrative Twenty20 cricket competition. The explosive hitter was bought by Punjab Kings for 42 million rupees ($467,000) for last season but only returned with 48 runs and four wickets in seven games, and was released by the franchise in November."
"It's a big call, and one I make with a lot of gratitude for everything this league has given me, the 37-year-old wrote in a statement on Instagram. The IPL has helped shape me as a cricketer and as a person. I've been lucky to play with world-class teammates, represent incredible franchises, and perform in front of fans whose passion is unmatched. The memories, the challenges, and the energy of India will stay with me forever."
