Glenn Maxwell out of IPL: The auction for IPL 2026 is to be held on 16 December. For this, 1355 players have registered their names. But the surprising thing is that he is not included in the list of registered players who have earned Rs 92 crore from IPL. We are talking about Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who has surprised everyone with his decision to stay away from IPL 2026. His stay away from the world’s biggest cricket league was revealed when he did not register his name in the auction for IPL 2026.
Played last season for Punjab Kings
Glenn Maxwell was a part of Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. This franchise had bought him for Rs 4.2 crore. However, before the IPL 2026 auction, the Punjab franchise had released Maxwell. After Maxwell’s release, many franchises had their eyes set on him. But by not registering himself for the auction, Maxwell made it clear that he is not going to play in IPL 2026.
What is the reason for Maxwell’s decision?
The reason behind Maxwell’s decision not to register his name for IPL 2026 has not been revealed yet. He has recently recovered from injury and has returned to international cricket. In such a situation, it would not be correct to say that due to injury he did not put his name in the auction. In such a situation, we will have to wait a bit to know the real reason behind Maxwell’s decision.
Earned around Rs 92 crore from IPL like this
Maxwell has played a total of 13 seasons in IPL for 4 teams. He made his IPL debut in 2012. Since then he has earned approximately Rs 92 crore from IPL. Maxwell received the highest salary of Rs 14.25 crore in IPL 2021, when he was bought by RCB. Maxwell has played maximum 6 seasons of IPL with Punjab Kings.
