“We were probably 11-12 years old, playing some junior representative cricket and Glenn even at that age was incredible, he is an incredible talent. I really enjoyed his energy and positive attitude and we really got connected from an early age and then Nathan, my younger brother, naturally became part of that group. Anthony, Aaron and I went together to the High School and through my connection, they met Glenn as well and from 15-16 this cricket group has been friends for life,” said Brendon Walsh, a childhood friend of Glenn Maxwell.
However, Glenn Maxwell has a different thought going behind flying in his friends from Down Under. And, his friends have also revealed some unknown secrets about Glenn Maxwell.

“I can only tell so much to these guys what it is to experience Cricket in India. I think this is my 27th or 28th time in India and I can only tell so much about life here but they experiencing it in person surely will be very special and will stay with them for long,” said Maxwell. “Maxi loves his golf but this one shot scares the daylight out of him -the 16-metre chip shot, it is not a full swing, as it is a half-swing and he needs to go with soft hands and I have never seen his knees wobble more,” added Walsh.
