While there was no direct reference to the hard-hitting batsman in the footage, the blurred images and timeframe referred to clearly implied Maxwell’s involvement.

The Australia international is saddened that his century in the Test – one of the proudest moments in his career to date – has been marred by allegations of corruption. “I was shocked. I was a bit hurt by it as well,” the all-rounder told SEN Radio.

“If there’s anything slightly amiss, I always give them a call and make sure they have every bit of evidence they can possibly have. There are some things you see in the game of cricket where you’re always just a little bit unsure.

“It was probably easier when I was captain (of Kings XI in 2017) and I was able to see the way the game was going, and the instructions that I was giving players, and the way the game was moving. I could actually work it out a little better.

“There wasn’t really anything untoward in the season I was captain, but you could certainly tell from opposition stuff and that’s why I reported certain things.”
