Islamabad, February 19: Australian star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has officially joined the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026. The official announcement has been made by the Hyderabad Kings Men team of signing Maxwell for the PSL season 11. The announcement has been made after Australia is going through a poor run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 and got knocked out from the Group stage after losing to Zimbabwe.

Struggled To Find Form

The Hyderabad Kings Men is praising the all-rounder by calling him "Destruction, Myth And Legend", even as he has failed to impress with his performance in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Maxwell struggled to find form as the team suffered shocking defeats to Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, resulting in their exit from the group stage for the first time after 2009.

Poor Performance

Maxwell managed to score only 62 runs across the three innings which is just a glimpse of his "Big Show" image. Former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting also hinted that this is the end of Maxwell era. However, his ability to make comeback cannot be ignored as he can be a match-winner on his day.
