Glenn Maxwell, the Australian all-rounder, is set to miss important clash in the ODI World Cup 2023 against England in Ahmedabad on Saturday. This happened because Maxwell was on a golf cart, returning to the team hotel from the clubhouse when he slipped and fell due to losing his grip. Unfortunately, he hurt his head and got a concussion.
Due to this injury, he won’t be able to participate in the match against England, scheduled for 4th November at 2:00 PM. It’s highly probable that Marcus Stoinis will step in as the replacement for Australia’s top all-rounder in the 2023 World Cup.
Nevertheless, there’s a confirmation that Maxwell will be ready to play if Australia advances to the knockout stages. There’s even a possibility that he might be fit to participate in the match against Bangladesh on November 11. However, it seems that Maxwell will be given a break during Australia’s second-to-last league match against Afghanistan.
Before this injury setback, Glenn Maxwell achieved the quickest century in World Cup history of just 40 balls when playing against the Netherlands. He has been Australia’s primary spinner leading to World Cup 2023.
Australia holds the fourth position on the points table, while England is positioned at the bottom.While Warner has been the leading run-scorer for Australia, Maxwell has unquestionably been the standout performer for the Australian team in this tournament. He has consistently proven himself as a match-winner, making a significant impact.
