Australia’s prominent all-rounder, Glenn Maxwell, recently sustained an ankle injury that led to his exclusion from the 2023 Australia tour of South Africa. This injury concern has cast doubt on his availability for the upcoming ODIs against India, which precede the crucial ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Australia is set to engage in a three-match ODI series against India, but Maxwell’s participation in all these games is uncertain as a precautionary measure, considering the impending World Cup.
Despite his injury setback, Maxwell has expressed his keenness to be part of the India series. He commended the Australian selectors and staff for their understanding approach, allowing him additional time to recover fully before the highly anticipated World Cup 2023.
