Glenn Maxwell says he has got "no demons" in his head now, reaping the rewards of a break he took to deal with mental health issues.
Maxwell, who took a short break from the game in October last year, made a roaring return in the ongoing Big Bash League, scoring runs at will while leading Melbourne Stars.
He struck an unbeaten 83 off 45 balls on Friday night to guide Stars to a seven-wicket win over Melbourne Renegades.
And the 31-year-old right-hander thanked Cricket Australia for supporting him and insisted that he had greatly benefited from the break.
"I've had no baggage coming in. I think back to the break I had and I'm so thankful that Cricket Australia and all the powers that be were able to grant me that break to get myself right, because I think I'm starting to see the benefits now," Maxwell was quoted as saying by 'cricket.com.au'.
"I've got no demons in my head. I've been able to sort of get everything off my chest."
