Glenn Maxwell re-signs with Lancashire for the upcoming season of T20 Blast

Glenn Maxwell, the right-handed all-rounder from Australia is one of the most demanded players in the shorter format across the globe. He recently played for Melbourne Stars in Big Bash League 2019-20. He led his side from the front but his side ended up as the runners-up in that tournament.

Maxwell played for the same team in 2019 T20 Vitality Blast. The right-hander was one of the top formers for Lancashire in the previous edition as he scored 305 runs in 11 games at a strike rate of 150.31 with the help of three sublime fifties. However, his side failed to qualify into semi-finals as they lost a crucial quarter-final.

It looks like the team management was quite impressed with his performances due to which they have included him in their ranks once again for the upcoming edition.
