Virat Kohli shows support for Glenn Maxwell

India captain Virat Kohli has shown his support for Glenn Maxwell over the Australian’s decision to take a break from the game to deal with mental health issues.

In a press conference ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh, Kohli spoke out about his own issues while remarking that what Maxwell has done is “remarkable”.

Maxwell opted to step away from cricket following the second T20 of Australia’s series win over Sri Lanka.

He is now one of three Australian players to have battled with their mental health this season, alongside state teammates Nic Maddinson and Will Pucovski.

While Maddinson has also taken time away from the game, Pucovski requested he not be considered for Test selection due to mental health matters.
