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.

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.
