Dec 2 (Reuters) - Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has opted out of next month’s Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions in Abu Dhabi, ending a 13-season stint in the lucrative T20 competition.

The explosive hitter was bought by Punjab Kings for 42 million rupees ($467,000) for last season but only returned with 48 runs and four wickets in seven games, and was released by the franchise in November.
