Cricket Australia has launched investigation into the incident involving star cricketer Glenn Maxwell after the cricketer was hospitalised following ‘alcohol-related incident’.
According to 7News, Maxwell had made an appearance in Adelaide before allegedly heading to a pub where former Australia pacer Brett Lee was performing with his band Six and Out.
The 35-year-old was then reportedly taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital. The reports further state that he was at the facility for only a brief period and didn’t spend the night there.
“Cricket Australia is aware of an incident involving Glenn Maxwell in Adelaide at the weekend and is seeking further information,” CA reportedly said in a statement. It further said that Maxwell is expected to return for the three-match T20I series against the West Indies which will take place after the ODI rubber next month. “It is not related to him being replaced in the ODI squad, a decision that was made following the BBL and based on his individual management plan. Maxwell is expected to return for the T20 series. No further comment will be made at this time,” it said.
