Maxwell will have to bring his A-game if Surrey are to taste success

England domestic side Surrey have added Australia big-hitting all-rounder Glenn Maxwell to their roster in order to boost their chances of triumphing in this year’s Friend’s Life Twenty20 tournament.

Maxwell has represented Australia in nine Twenty20 Internationals and tasted glory in the Friends Life Twenty20 competition just last year as he was a part of Hampshire’s squad.

“Glenn is one of the most exciting T20 players in the world and we are looking forward to him joining our squad for this year’s competition,” Surrey’s team director, Chris Adams, said.

Maxwell has an impressive Twenty20 résumé, having played for the Melbourne Renegades in Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL) and the Mumbai Indians in this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Friends Life Twenty20 tournament starts today, but Surrey will only have Maxwell for their first seven matches if he is selected to play for Australia A next month.
