Asked if the IPL will help boost his career, Maxwell sounded positive.

"I look at it as another opportunity to play an amazing standard of cricket. I'm looking forward to being part of a successful Mumbai Indians team and that's going to be the best thing for my career going forward. "If I'm part of winning teams I'm going to look back at the end of my career and be very happy." He said he does not lose his sleep thinking about batting and bowling averages, and money. "That doesn't bother me too much. I don't care about money too much. I just want to play cricket and enjoy it. That's why I haven't thought of the million dollars too much and everyone else has been reminding me about it." Maxwell said that he's got a hang of the SG balls, which are used in India. "I'm looking forward to that if I get my chance. I'm used to the SG balls now, so hopefully I'll get a crack. With the money he has earned through IPL, Maxwell said he will "buy a house straightaway", adding : "I need to get my money into some property back in Melbourne." Maxwell is hoping that good performances in T20 would earn him a place in the squad for Ashes. "I think any form is good form. Like the way Shaun Marsh has been picked over the last few years. He hasn't probably done as well as he'd have liked in Australia but has done well in the IPL, which saw him picked, and he's done well in the T20 side as well. "He's opened the batting in One Day cricket, so I think they take these performances in to account as well." About the doping controversy in Australia, he said, "I think it's a pretty big issue. I think it's a mix up with the physios. I don't think the payers would intentionally do that. "I think it was a muck-up by the staff. I don't think it had an impact on our sport. Most of our guys aren't ripped except maybe Shane Watson or Mitchell Johnson. I think it's been a backlash on the sporting staff and not the players."
