Glenn Maxwell has stepped down as the captain of the Melbourne Stars following a disappointing season that saw the team miss the BBL13 finals. Maxwell, who held the captaincy for five years, made the decision after the Stars failed to make the playoffs. The team confirmed Maxwell’s resignation, and he will now focus on his batting and bowling responsibilities. The Stars, under new coach Peter Moores, struggled throughout the season, losing their last three games to finish sixth in the standings. Maxwell expressed his disappointment with the team’s performance, acknowledging the challenges they faced with injuries and replacements. Despite leading the Stars to the BBL decider in previous seasons, Maxwell felt it was time for a change in leadership. The 35-year-old is still contracted to the Stars for the next two seasons but will no longer serve as captain. The team will now look to appoint a new captain as they aim to bounce back from a disappointing campaign.
