Maxwell endured a poor season where he made just 76 runs in eight innings and claimed two wickets. He had received a lucrative offer from Sydney Thunder to make a move.
“The Melbourne Stars have been a massive part of my cricket career and I’m really passionate about this team having success,” Maxwell said. “I think this current group is building towards something special and I’m confident we’re in a place to contend for the title in the next two seasons.”
Clint McKay, Stars’ high performance manager, said: “Glenn has obviously been one of the best T20 players in the world for a long period of time and his commitment to the Stars is really valuable to us.”
“Signing Campbell was just as important as he adds some great stability to our top order,” McKay said. “He proved himself at the level this season and I’ve got no doubt he will make a lot of runs for us for many years to come.”
Once the contracting embargo starts at 5pm AEDT on Tuesday a player movement window begins from January 28 to February 5 which allows clubs to sign off-contract players or make trades.
