Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been dominated out of the ODI World Cup 2023 match in opposition to England, to be held in Ahmedabad on Monday. Maxwell was on a golf cart, heading again to the staff lodge from the clubhouse when the incident happened. Maxwell misplaced his grip, slipped and fell from the cart. In the method, he ended up injuring his head, struggling a concussion. The all-rounder’s absence may harm Australia’s semi-final plans, however they do have the likes of Cameron Green and Marcus Stoinis to exchange him.

Maxwell is indispensable to Australia’s staff, particularly since hovering to type by scoring a 40-ball 100 in opposition to the Netherlands in New Delhi. Even within the final World Cup match in opposition to New Zealand, Maxwell scored a 24-ball 41 as his staff strengthened its place within the semi-final race.

“In transporting him back from the clubhouse to the team bus, Glenn Maxwell came off the back of a car and has suffered a small concussion, so he will go into concussion protocols for the next period of time and will unfortunately miss the England game,” Australian coach Andrew McDonald revealed.

“There’ll be no replacement (in the squad) as such, he’ll go into six to eight days concussion protocol. So they said that takes into account the England game, he’ll be unavailable for that game. And then clearly within the squad we’ve got some players who become available Marcus Stoinis, Cameron Green’s there available as well, but we haven’t made that decision as yet.

Further explaining the incident, McDonald said: “The guys have been ferried off on carts. Glenn and some different gamers jumped on the again of carts and sadly he misplaced his grip on the way in which again to the staff bus and sustained that damage. Over the final couple of days he is been assessed.

“We feel as though it’ll be a relatively straightforward return to play protocol with where he’s at at the moment.”
