Australia's Glenn Maxwell Aggravates Injury Month Before World Cup 2023

28.08.2023 - 07:17 sports.ndtv.com

Australia's star allrounder Glenn Maxwell is in a race against time as he continues to battle with a fresh injury with the ICC ODI World Cup just a month away.

Maxwell ended up hurting his ankle during a training session in Durban while training for Australia's T20I series against South Africa on Wednesday and he will now fly home to be alongside his wife as they await the birth of their first child according to the ICC.

Maxwell is expected to recover from his ankle injury in due time, but, national selector Tony Dodemaide has made it clear that no risks would be taken with the 34-year-old given his injury history that includes the freak leg injury he picked up at a friend's party late last year.

Yet, Dodemaide remains confident that Maxwell will be ready for Australia's ODI series against India next month. "We will monitor Glenn's recovery with a view to him being available for the three-match ODI series in India in advance of the World Cup," Dodemaide said as quoted by ICC.

Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is considering another round of surgery about his ankle but will schedule it after the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 to make him available for selections, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Maxwell suffered a lower leg and ankle fracture in an accident in November last year after his friend jokingly chased him and landed on his leg at the friend's 50th birthday party.
