Australia cricketer Glenn Maxwell, who is set to marry his long-time fiancée Vini Raman, has found himself in a pickle after their wedding invitation in Tamil was leaked on the internet.

Glenn and Vini have planned a small wedding with only 350 guests which include their closest friends and relatives. However, for those who understand Tamil, it has become a worldwide recognized event.

Maxwell has revealed that relatives in India were overjoyed and shared the invitation with a few acquaintances, and now there are lakhs of copies of the invitation on the internet. He went on to say that they'll have to beef up security for the wedding, which will take place in Melbourne.

Next minute, it’s in pretty much every paper over there and I’m getting tweeted it by pretty much everyone. So that was that was a shock. It’s been a busy couple of days," Maxwell told www.cricket.com.au.
