Maxwell suffers broken leg in freak accident

Glenn Maxwell is out of cricket for up to three months after breaking his leg in a freak accident at a friend’s 50th birthday party in Melbourne on Saturday night. The seriousness of the injury meant it required surgery, and will rule Maxwell out of all cricket until at least January, when he may recover in time to play in the latter stages of the Big Bash League for the Melbourne Stars. After attending a Stars event during the day, Maxwell went to the birthday party in the evening and was running around a tennis court with the person celebrating when both tripped and fell. Maxwell’s leg got trapped under the other person. Sources with knowledge of the events told The Age and Sydney Morning Herald that the man celebrating his 50th birthday was a former schoolteacher of Maxwell’s.
