SYDNEY: Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has hurt his ankle during a training session in Durban just weeks ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
Maxwell aggravated his ankle at a training ahead of Australia’s T20I series against South Africa on Wednesday.
While Maxwell is expected to recover from the ankle concern in time for Australia’s World Cup campaign, national selector Tony Dodemaide said no risks would be taken with the 34-year-old given his injury history that includes the freak leg injury he picked up at a friend’s party late last year.
Dodemaide is confident Maxwell will return to national colours during Australia’s ODI series against India at the end of next month and be fully fit for the World Cup.
“We will monitor Glenn’s recovery with a view to him being available for the three-match ODI series in India in advance of the World Cup,” Dodemaide said.
