In a significant boost for the Australian team ahead of the crucial World Cup 2023 clash against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is making strides in his recovery after suffering a concussion due to a mishap involving a golf cart earlier this week.


ENG vs AUS: Glenn Maxwell likely to join Australia's playing XI 

Maxwell, who had been in a worrying accident when he fell off a golf buggy, is now back in the nets, gearing up for the critical encounter. Despite the initial setback which ruled him out of the upcoming match as per Cricket Australia's stringent concussion protocols, Maxwell's condition has been closely monitored and has shown considerable improvement. 

The Australians will be keen on having their dynamic player back on the field as he has been a key performer in the tournament, amassing 196 runs across six matches at a commendable average of 39.20 and a stellar strike rate of 148.48.

The incident, which took place during a casual round of golf in the lead-up to Australia's showdown with the defending champions, sent a brief wave of concern through the camp. However, head coach Andrew McDonald had expressed optimism regarding Maxwell's health and the likelihood of his return.

This optimism seems well-founded as Maxwell was spotted training at the Narendra Modi Stadium ahead of the England clash, an image of which has come to the fore, stirring conversations about his potential inclusion in the team's playing XI.

Fans will be eagerly anticipating confirmation of his return, particularly in light of his electrifying century against the Netherlands – the fastest in World Cup history, which came off just 40 balls.

Meanwhile, Australia's campaign has been formidable thus far, and Maxwell's presence could be the tipping point as they seek to secure a win that would significantly strengthen their prospects of advancing to the semi-finals.

As the excitement builds, the Australian contingent and fans alike will be hoping that Maxwell's recovery continues to progress smoothly, allowing him to bring his explosive batting and versatile bowling back to the fold against the English side.
