Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been injured in a nets training mishap, adding to his list of unfortunate accidents.<\/p>\n
Maxwell was bowling in the nets when batsman Mitchell Owen “smoked” a shot back at him and left him with a fractured arm.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old previously fractured a leg when a friend fell on it at a 50th birthday party in 2022. <\/p>\n
He was also left concussed when he fell off a golf cart at the 2023 World Cup.<\/p>\n
His latest injury has ruled him out of this week’s three-match T20 series in New Zealand.<\/p>\n
Australian all-rounder Matthew Short was batting in an adjoining net in Mount Maunganui and said he saw the incident “out of the corner of my eye”.<\/p>\n
Speaking to cricket.com.au, he added: “I saw [Owen] smoked it and then the aftermath. It hit Maxi on the wrist. It didn’t sound good.<\/p>\n
“[Owen] is not the guy you want to be bowling to in T20 training, that’s for sure.”<\/p>\n
Maxwell, who has been replaced by wicketkeeper-batter Josh Philippe for the series, could now be a doubt for a home five-match one-day international series against India in October. <\/p>\n
“Maxi’s been there and gone through [serious injuries] a couple of times now,” said Short.<\/p>\n
“He was a bit disappointed but it’s just like any other injury. I’m sure he’ll get through it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been injured in a nets training mishap, adding to his list of unfortunate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-170244","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
