Glenn Maxwell suffered a gruesome fracture on his knee during November 2022. He underwent a surgery and had to be out of action for three months. After recovering fully, he made his return to cricket by playing for his club side Fitzroy-Doncaster. He smashed 61 in the game and was then named in the South Australia side for the ongoing Sheffield Shield contest against Victoria.
It was his first red-ball contest in four years. He was dismissed for just five runs after being trapped lbw in the first innings of the match. However, following his injury during the game, he has not been allowed to bat in the second innings so far.
According to a Cricket Victoria Spokesperson, Maxwell’s scan reports has ruled out any kind of fracture. He has been cleared to play in the second innings. Maxwell has also begun practice in the nets, which has come as a good sign.
