Australian Cricketer Glenn Maxwell to Miss World Cup Match Following Concussion from Golf Cart Incident

Maxwell's concussion came during a golf outing with teammates, no other injuries reported; hopeful for return later in tournament.

  • Glenn Maxwell, the Australian cricketer, will miss the upcoming World Cup match against England due to a concussion sustained from a fall off a golf cart during a team outing in Gujarat, India.
  • Maxwell, who recently hit a 40-ball century—the fastest in World Cup history—is a significant player for Australia, having scored 196 runs at an average of 39.20 and also taken four wickets with his off-spin in the tournament so far.
  • The incident has not led to any changes in the squad, and there remains hope that Maxwell will return for the remaining games of the tournament after undergoing Cricket Australia's concussion protocols.
  • This unexpected setback may lead to a possible recall for all-rounders Cameron Green or Marcus Stoinis, despite the latter currently dealing with a calf issue.
  • Maxwell's injury is the latest in a series of unfortunate events for the player, who broke his leg in a freak accident at a birthday party in Melbourne last year, an injury from which he is still recovering.
