Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been injured in a nets training mishap, adding to his list of unfortunate accidents.
Maxwell was bowling in the nets when batsman Mitchell Owen “smoked” a shot back at him and left him with a fractured arm.
The 36-year-old previously fractured a leg when a friend fell on it at a 50th birthday party in 2022.
He was also left concussed when he fell off a golf cart at the 2023 World Cup.
His latest injury has ruled him out of this week’s three-match T20 series in New Zealand.
Australian all-rounder Matthew Short was batting in an adjoining net in Mount Maunganui and said he saw the incident “out of the corner of my eye”.
Speaking to cricket.com.au, he added: “I saw [Owen] smoked it and then the aftermath. It hit Maxi on the wrist. It didn’t sound good.
“[Owen] is not the guy you want to be bowling to in T20 training, that’s for sure.”
Maxwell, who has been replaced by wicketkeeper-batter Josh Philippe for the series, could now be a doubt for a home five-match one-day international series against India in October.
“Maxi’s been there and gone through [serious injuries] a couple of times now,” said Short.
“He was a bit disappointed but it’s just like any other injury. I’m sure he’ll get through it.”
