Maxwell is out of action for a few months after being asked to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow. He had earlier captained the Melbourne Stars to the final of the Big Bash League. The Aussie, who was bought at the IPL auction by Kings XI Punjab, is expected to miss the initial part of the tournament.

He had taken a break from international cricket on the grounds of mental health in October last year.

Maxwell was part of the Australian team that won the 2015 ICC World Cup and has been an integral part of the limited overs teams of Australia for quite some time now.
