He said he was upset about the tough outfield in a match and felt it would be hard to play in those conditions. Especially during the match against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup, his body did not adapt properly to the conditions, due to which he felt that he was not able to help his team properly.

Maxwell also said that he believes it is necessary to look for new options in his place in view of the 2027 World Cup, and for this he spoke to the chairman of the selection committee, George Bailey. He said, "We talked about the 2027 World Cup. I told him that I don't think I will be able to play the 2027 World Cup.
