Talking about the same, Maxwell said that it’ll be great if he gets an opportunity to work with players like AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. Maxwell termed AB de Villiers as one of his idols.

"That'll be awesome. AB (is) one of my idols and one of the guys I've always tried to watch the way he goes about (things)," Maxwell was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.

"It'll be awesome to work with him, and he's always been really helpful to me along the journey. Whenever I've caught up with him, he's been brilliant. So to be able to work with him first hand will be pretty cool."

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir believes that Maxwell will earn one of the highest bids in the auction.
