Glenn Maxwell will miss Australia’s upcoming one-day international series against England after breaking his leg in a freak accident that will keep him out for up to three months.
Maxwell broke his tibula in his left leg during an incident at a friend’s 50th birthday party on Saturday evening and had surgery to reset the bone on Sunday.
He will be out for eight to twelve weeks.
“Glenn is in good spirits,” Australian selection chief George Bailey said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
“It was an unfortunate accident and we feel for Glenn in the circumstances given he was in great touch in his last few games.
“Glenn is a critical part of our white-ball structure and we will continue to support him through his recovery and rehabilitation.”
Sean Aboott has been called up to replace Maxwell in the three-match series, which begins on Thursday in Adelaide.
