Glenn Maxwell returned for Stars' BBL campaign fresh and posted 389 runs averaging 43.22 this season. In an interview with ESPNCricinfo, 31-year old Australia international said, "I think it was eight months on road, living out of a suitcase and that probably had been going on for four or five years, just constantly on road and it all just caught up with me at that time. I really want to thank Cricket Australia, Cricket Victoria and Stars for giving me that and allowing me to have that time away from game and get myself right."
