Glenn Maxwell's 'worrying' reveal after wedding details leaked online
Glenn Maxwell says he might need to increase security at his wedding in India after details about the nuptials were leaked online.
Maxwell and partner Vini Raman are set to tie the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony in India next month, which will involve several events spanning an entire week.

As well as being a superstar in Australia, Maxwell is also idolised in cricket-mad India - where he has played multiple seasons in the IPL.
Interest in the wedding will therefore be extremely high, but Maxwell never expected the invitation for the nuptials to be posted online.
Speaking to Fox Cricket during the third T20 between Australia and Sri Lanka on Tuesday night, Maxwell revealed a former IPL teammate had informed him of the leak.
Among those to post the invite online was Indian actor Kasturi Shankar.

Maxwell admitted it was "worrying" to think about what the leaked details might mean for the wedding and said he'd probably have to beef up security.
“I had a bit of a worrying day the other day,” he said.
“I got sent a photo from one of my former IPL teammates who I hadn’t seen in a couple of years and he had been sent the Tamil wedding invite by a numerous amount of people.
“So unfortunately that was making the rounds online. I think we’re going to have to increase security at our Hindu wedding.
“Check online. It’s everywhere. Look up Maxwell wedding, it’ll be somewhere.”

Maxwell and Raman had been struggling to find a time in his busy schedule for the wedding, but finally settled on March.
He will miss Australia's Test tour of Pakistan as a result, which was only confirmed after he'd settled on a wedding date.
“Originally when I organised the dates with CA there was a two week gap where I could potentially have it, so when I sorted that out I was pretty happy I wasn’t going to be missing any series,” he said.
“Then it came to the contract meeting midway through last year and (CA) said this is the Pakistan series and I said, ‘well that’s obviously changed since the last conversation we had'.
"But happy wife, happy life.
“I know I was pretty hopeful to be on one of the Test tours this year and unfortunately with all the scheduling changes it (wedding) happened to fall during this one.”
Maxwell blasted 39 off 25 balls on Tuesday night as Australia clinched their T20 series against Sri Lanka.
The Aussies now lead 3-0 with two matches to play after a six-wicket win in Canberra.
