Australia Team a big shock, this dreaded player from the NZ T20I series, also difficult to return against India

The Australian cricket team suffered a major setback before the T20 International Series against New Zealand. Star All -Rounder Glenn Maxwell is out of the series due to fraction in the wrist. Mitchell Owen’s straight ride was injured while bowling on the nets in Mount Munganui. Maxwell was sent home and in the coming days he will consult an expert. Australia’s medical staff is expected to recover soon, but he is less likely to play in the five -match T20 international series starting from October 29 against India. He is expected to return from the Big Bash League in December, but it will depend on the advice of the expert. New South Wales-wicketkeeper batsman Josh Philip is recorded in the team in place of Maxwell. Josh Iglis is also due to an injury and Alex Carrie was replaced in the team. Maxwell’s injury further complicated Australia’s plans for the 2026 T20 World Championships, as the next eight games are considered important to choose their best XI. Cameron Green is also not part of this series as he is committed to playing in the Sheffield Shield, while preparations for the Ashes series are difficult to play in the series against India. Pat Cummins is out of the series due to back injury, while Nathan Ellis is not part of the New Zealand series due to the birth of her first child.

He recently played for Australia A, and he performed brilliantly in two informal Test matches against India in Lucknow, with 123, 39 and 50 runs. Despite his poor performance in T20 cricket, his performance for Sydney Sixers was disappointing in the last season of Big Bash League. Share this story -tags
