Maxwell has been retained for 11 Crore.
Stoinis, meanwhile, has been picked up by the new Lucknow franchise along with KL Rahul and Ravi Bishnoi.
The allrounder has been a key part of Ricky Ponting’s Delhi Capitals side in recent years. He has been acquired by Lucknow for 9.2 Crores.
“After Ben Stokes, who is likely to stay away from IPL this season, Stoinis is the complete package,” Lucknow team mentor Gautam Gambhir told Star Sports.
“He can bat, bowl, and is one of the best fielders. I think his addition is good news for the team.
“We have seen him perform in the ICC T20 World Cup. He can win matches single-handedly.”
The other new franchise, Ahmedabad, has signed Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill as their three new players before next month’s auction.
