In-form Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been ruled out of their ICC World Cup match against England after a freak concussion incident falling off the back of a golf cart in Ahmedabad on Monday.<\/p>\n
Maxwell was holding onto the back of a golf cart on the way back from the club house to the team bus during one of scheduled days off when he lost his grip and fell. He suffered a concussion and some bruises on the face, reports suggested.<\/p>\n
He is expected to be under Cricket Australia’s concussion protocols for six to eight days.<\/p>\n
The Australians had been relaxing by playing golf in the city during a week-long break between games. No one else was hurt in the incident, cricket.com.au reported.<\/p>\n
The untoward development will have Australia make a forced change and replace one of their key middle-order players for the game against England with either Marcus Stoinis or Cameron Green likely to come in and Marnus Labuschagne keeping his place in the Playing XI.<\/p>\n
Last year Maxwell suffered a badly broken leg when he slipped at a friend’s 50th birthday part and it ruled him for nearly five months.<\/p>\n
