Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will miss the Cricket World Cup clash with old rivals England after falling off a golf buggy and suffering concussion, media reports said on Wednesday.
BENGALURU : Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will miss their World Cup match with England due to concussion after falling off a golf cart this week, but head coach Andrew McDonald said on Wednesday he expects the player to make a full recovery.
Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been ruled out of his side's World Cup match against England after falling off a golf cart and sustaining a concussion. Maxwell, who hit a tournament record 40-ball century against the Netherlands last week and also offers a handy second spin option, will miss Saturday's clash in Ahmedabad after a bizarre sequence of events. Maxwell had finished a round at Gujarat's Kalhaar Blues and Greens club on Monday evening and was riding on the back of a cart with team-mates when he lost his grip, fell and hit his head. Head coach Andrew McDonald told cricket.com.au: "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. "He'll go into six to eight days concussion protocol, so they said that takes into account the England game. It was just a clearcut accident. He's an important player for us, hopefully it's just the one game he misses. "The guys were ferried off on carts.
Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been ruled out of the ODI World Cup 2023 match against England, to be held in Ahmedabad on Monday. Maxwell was on a golf cart, heading back to the team hotel from the clubhouse when the incident took place. Maxwell lost his grip, slipped and fell from the cart. In the process, he ended up injuring his head, suffering a concussion. The all-rounder's absence could hurt Australia's semi-final plans, but they do have the likes of Cameron Green and Marcus Stoinis to replace him.
New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra has been a breakout star for his team in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and he once again made an impact with a century against Australia at Dharamshala, though in a losing cause. Rachin Ravindra's explosive century and James Neesham's death over striking went in vain as New Zealand could not chase 389 runs set by Australia, losing by just five runs in a nail-biter on Saturday. Ravindra smashed 116 in 89 balls. His knock consisted of nine fours and five sixes and he struck at a strike rate of over 130. His century, the second made by the talented all-rounder in his debut World Cup, came in just 77 balls, which is the fastest century by a Kiwi in the tournament's history. Ravindra broke his own record of 82-ball century against England in the tournament opener.

Warner and Head overtook England duo of Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy, who scored 159 in 105 balls, with a run rate of 9.08 against Pakistan in Bristol back in 2019.
