Maxwell celebrated the fastest-ever World Cup century, off just 40 balls, against the Netherlands
“There’ll 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,” McDonald added.
“There’s no doubt it leaves us a fraction exposed at the back end in terms of how Glenn’s been performing but Marcus Stoinis does become available, all things going well at training today.”
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.
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.
But McDonald has no intention of banning his players from golfing during their time off.
“It was a fantastic couple of days,” he said. “We feel as though that’s important when we’re on the road for extended periods of time… it’s an unfortunate accident.”
