Aussie Cricketer Maxwell reveals his Indian-origin girlfriend first noticed his mental health issues

Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell is one of the best the team has got. He has had much success with his power-hitting abilities and spin bowling action. However, he had taken a break from cricket to deal with his mental health issues.

He explained how his partner Vini Raman is the first to notice it. She is of Indian origin and the couple has been often seen posting pictures together on social media.

“I’ve been getting back into the swing of things for a while. I think I was pretty cooked. I decided to take some time off and a big reason as to why I took that time away was because I was mentally and physically ruined from I think it was eight months on the road and living out of a suitcase,”  he said reports India Today.

“It just all caught up with me at that time and I really want to thank Cricket Australia, Cricket Victoria and the (Melbourne) Stars for giving me that space and having that time away from the game. It was actually my partner who suggested I speak to someone; she was the first person who noticed it. Once I had that initial conversation it was a huge weight off my shoulders,” he added.
