Australian cricket maverick Glenn Maxwell has expressed his gratitude towards the Australian cricket hierarchy for their unwavering support after he fell unconscious at an Adelaide pub on January 19. The 35-year-old, who had to be hospitalized following the alcohol-related incident, termed it as ‘less than ideal’, acknowledging that it affected his family more than himself. Maxwell, speaking after his record-equalling fifth T20I hundred, expressed his appreciation for the outstanding support he received during this challenging time.
Despite the setback, Maxwell remained focused on his recovery and preparation for the upcoming series. Managing his time off from the ODI squad to face the West Indies, he utilized the break to rejuvenate himself physically and mentally. Maxwell emphasized that he was fully committed to getting himself ready for the T20 series and future endeavors, returning to training promptly after the incident to ensure he was in optimal shape for the matches ahead.
The recent incident was not the first mishap for Maxwell, who has faced several setbacks in recent times, including a foot injury and partial concussion. However, Maxwell remains undeterred, moving forward with determination and gratitude for the support he has received. His remarkable performance in the recent T20I match against the West Indies, where he scored an impressive 120 not out from 55 balls, exemplifies his resilience and dedication to the sport.
