Glenn Maxwell ruled out to play cricket for an indefinite time

According to Cricket Australia, Glenn Maxwell will require significant time off work after breaking his leg at a birthday celebration in the backyard. Maxwell fell and broke his left fibula; he had surgery on Sunday, November 13. The 34-year-old therefore would now be unable to play in the forthcoming ODI series against England, and there are concerns that he might be sidelined for the remainder of the summer. With the series beginning on November 17, Cricket Australia has replaced him in the ODI team with Sean Abbott.

“Glenn is in good spirits. It was an unfortunate accident and we feel for Glenn in the circumstances given he was in great touch in his last few games,” Australia’s selection chief George Bailey said. “Glenn is a critical part of our white ball structure and we will continue to support him through his recovery and rehabilitation.” Recently Pat Cummins was named as the ODI captain after Aaron Finch announced his retirement.
