Maxwell celebrated the fastest-ever World Cup century, off just 40 balls, against the Netherlands <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019ll be a small reshuffle, clearly, around the back end of our batting and no doubt that compromises a bit of our bowling and the way Glenn has performed with the ball,\u201d McDonald added. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt it leaves us a fraction exposed at the back end in terms of how Glenn\u2019s been performing but Marcus Stoinis does become available, all things going well at training today.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is not the first freak injury that Maxwell has sustained after suffering a badly broken leg and almost losing a foot when he slipped while pretending to chase a mate at a 50th birthday party. That ruled him out of action for nearly five months.<\/p>\n
Golf has also caused other high-profile cricketers injuries, most notably England star Jonny Bairstow, who missed the entire winter following a horrific broken leg sustained on a golf course, while Josh Inglis was ruled out of the 2022 T20 World Cup when he suffered a badly cut hand as a club snapped.<\/p>\n
But McDonald has no intention of banning his players from golfing during their time off.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a fantastic couple of days,\u201d he said. \u201cWe feel as though that\u2019s important when we\u2019re on the road for extended periods of time\u2026 it\u2019s an unfortunate accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
