Glenn Maxwell, an Australian all-rounder, has been ruled out of cricket for a prolonged length of time after suffering a ‘freak’ injury to his leg. This injury occurred during an Australian cricketer’s birthday party in Melbourne. Maxwell fractured his fibula and underwent surgery on Saturday, according to reports. With a broken leg, the Australian star will be sidelined for some time.
Maxwell was injured when he slid while sprinting in a backyard with the person celebrating the birthday, and his leg became caught, despite neither of them being intoxicated. Maxwell is ruled out of the one-day series against England, which begins on Thursday, but he may also miss the full BBL season with the Melbourne Stars, depending on his recovery timeline, which will be known in the following weeks.
