Yorkshire Vikings drop Glenn Maxwell for unprofessional behaviour

Yorkshire Vikings drop Glenn Maxwell for unprofessional behaviour: Swashbuckling super star Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell has been dropped from the Yorkshire Vikings Twenty20 team for disciplinary reasons. Though the management hasn’t made the reason for his removal clear, it is apparent that they have been left unsatisfied with the conduct of the Australian.

With this Maxwell’s short sojourn with Yorkshire comes to an end; the team couldn’t earn a quarter final berth perishing early. Yorkshire coach and former Australia quick Jason Gillespie was quoted by cricket.com.au saying, “It was just unprofessional behaviour and I don’t wish to add anything further. It has been dealt with and we have moved on and the slate is clean. As soon as the decision was made, we cracked on,”

Maxwell notwithstanding some flashes of brilliance here and there overall suffered a slump in form with the Yorkshire jersey donned. Maxwell registered 229 runs at an average of 20.82 in 12 innings during the T20 competition and just 25 runs at an average of 8.33 in two County Championship matches.

The 26-year-old was originally scheduled to join Australia A in India but had his stay with the Vikings extended when teammate and close friend Aaron Finch underwent foot surgery earlier this month. The Australian failed to turn up for Friday’s game against Birmingham Bears.
