Royal Challengers Bengaluru all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has decided to take a “mental and physical” break from the Indian Premier League after going through a modest run in the tournament.
Maxwell’s absence from RCB’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bengaluru on Monday was initially attributed to a finger injury he suffered during the previous match against Mumbai Indians, but he later admitted that he has taken a break from the league.
“It was a pretty easy decision. I went to Faf and the coaches after the last game (vs Mumbai Indians) and said it was probably time we tried someone else (in his place). It’s actually a good time to give myself a bit of a mental and physical break, get my body right,” Maxwell said in the post-match press meet. “If I'm required to get in during the tournament, I can, hopefully, get back into a solid mental and physical space where I can make an impact,” he added.
