IPL 2023: RCB concerned as injured Glenn Maxwell forced to leave field after Wrist Pain; Might be unavailable for First half
Star Australian all-rounder Maxwell’s good fortune with injuries appears to have run out. Glenn Maxwell cannot catch a break at the moment as the explosive batter sustained a wrist injury while representing Victoria in a Sheffield Shield game against South Australia. Maxwell was stationed in the slip cordon when he hurt his wrist and walked off the field after his injury.
This fresh injury scare will be a concern for Royal Challengers Bangalore as the team needs the star all-rounder to be fully fit for the upcoming IPL.
WATCH: Glenn Maxwell taken off the field with a wrist injury
Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell’s return to cricket following a major leg fracture did not pan out as hoped. Representing Victoria in a Sheffield Shield contest against South Australia, he sustained a blow to his wrist while fielding in the slip cordon and was taken off the field.
Maxwell attempted to claim a catch at first slip, with the ball claiming the outside edge flying towards him. However, the ball just happened to bounce right in front of the all-rounder and he copped the blow to the wrist as the ball made its way past.
Clutching his wrist, he went down in pain and did not feature for the remainder of the innings. Watch the video of the incident right here:
The Victorian will be hoping that he can recover from his latest setback quickly, with his eyes set on a return to the national team. While the Australian team are currently engaging in a four-match Test series against India, they will take part in a three-match ODI series next month against the same opponents. Glenn Maxwell is eyeing the white-ball series against India for making his much-awaited return to international cricket.
