After being part of the RCB team since 2021, Maxwell was let go this time. Maxi is now speaking out about this and stated his respect for the team management’s response to the situation.
Glenn Maxwell, an allrounder for Australia and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), talked out about the team’s failure to retain him before the 2025 IPL auction. Three players were retained by RCB: Yash Dayal (Rs 5 crore), Rajat Patidar (Rs 11 crore), and Virat Kohli (Rs 21 crore). After spending Rs 37 crore, RCB now has Rs 83 crore in cash on hand. Three Right to Match (RTM) cards are also available for the Bangalore franchise.
After being a member of the RCB team since 2021, Maxwell was dismissed this time. Maxwell is now speaking out about this and has expressed his admiration for the team’s management of the situation. I received a call from Andy Flower and Mo Bobat, Maxwell stated. They informed me of the choice to not retain me in a video chat. The meeting was excellent. He shared his approach with me as we talked about the game.
Maxwell stated that his time at RCB is far from done and stated that he is aware of the team’s plan for the upcoming season. To Maxwell, they must fix the problem before the players arrive because they have also replaced their staff members. I am aware that it takes time. Although I am aware of the direction the team is taking, I just want to make it clear that my time with RCB is far from ending. Returning to that team would be my dream. I have had a lot of fun playing for this franchise, which is amazing.
This season, Maxwell’s performance was poor.
Maxwell had a bad IPL 2024 season. His biggest score was 28 runs, and he only managed 52 runs at an average of 5.77 in nine games. Maxwell got just six wickets and had an economy rate of 8.06 because he failed to make an impression with the ball. As Maxwell is seen as an aggressive all-around player, a high bid is likely for him at the auction. The IPL 2025 player mega auction will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25.
