Maxwell is now worried. "I had a bit of a worrying day the other day. I got sent a photo from an ex-IPL teammate...and he had been sent the (traditional) Tamil wedding invite by numerous amount of people. So unfortunately that was making the rounds online. I think we’re going to have to increase security at our Hindu wedding," he said. Image Credit: Instagram/Vini.raman

Maxwell told the host broadcaster Fox Cricket that the clash with the wedding was unavoidable due to the constant schedule changes, despite consulting Cricket Australia. “Originally when I organised the dates with CA there was a two-week gap where I could potentially have it,” Maxwell said.

"I was pretty happy that I wasn’t going to be missing in any series. And then I came to the [CA] contract meeting midway through last year and they said well this is [when] the Pakistan series [is on] and I thought well obviously that’s changed,” he added. Image Credit: AFP
