Maxwell, who retired from ODI matches earlier this year, would have been in line to play in the five-match T20 series at home against India in October and November, and is also a mainstay of the Melbourne Stars Big Bash League side.<\/p>\n
Though there is an Ashes series to follow, the India matches are arguably the most important games of the season so far as CA\u2019s battling balance sheet is concerned.<\/p>\n
A wrist and forearm injury is also going to be a testing one for Maxwell, given how much of his batting power comes from the snap he generates with his wrists through impact on the ball.<\/p>\n
Maxwell has an unfortunate history of freakish injuries. In late 2022 he suffered a badly broken leg when he was tackled by a friend at a birthday party and missed the bulk of the summer.<\/p>\n
And the following year at the ODI World Cup, Maxwell missed a game against England due to a concussion suffered when he fell off a golf cart at the end of a day on the course in between matches.<\/p>\n

When Maxwell returned, he had to battle full-body cramps while making a memorable unbeaten 201 to help beat Afghanistan and ensure Australia\u2019s path to the semi-finals of a tournament they ultimately won.<\/p>\n
Australia contest the T20 World Cup in India in February and March next year.<\/p>\n
