Tamil wedding invitation from Glenn Maxwell and Vini Raman goes viral

Glenn Maxwell will miss Australia’s forthcoming tour to Pakistan due to his wedding on March 27 in Melbourne. He is marrying Vini Raman, who is of Indian origin. Maxwell’s wedding will be held in front of 350 of his closest friends and will have increased security.

The extra security comes after information about Maxwell’s planned wedding was leaked online when the invitation to the traditional Hindu ceremony, which would take place over the course of a week, appeared.

Maxwell was notified by a former Indian Premier League teammate that the invitation to the Melbourne event, which was printed in Tamil, was being circulated online.

“It was not ideal,” Maxwell told cricket.com.au. “We’ve got to get extra security for the wedding now,” he added.

“It was supposed to be a private event and unfortunately the relatives over in India just got a little bit excited and decided to show a few friends.

“So that was a shock. It’s been a busy couple of days,” said Maxwell, He led Australia to a series-clinching third T20I victory over Sri Lanka on Tuesday, scoring 39 off 26 balls.

Since the Bangladesh tour in 2017, Maxwell has played for Australia in the longest format of the game.

”I’d love to be available for the Sri Lanka Test matches this year,” said Maxwell.

“There’s still other options and other series that I could potentially put my hand up for.
