Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell injured after falling off golf buggy
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.
