Maxwell was ruled out of playing for Australia in Saturday\u2019s league stage clash against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium after falling off the back of a golf cart during a day off for the team earlier this week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just frustrating when stuff like that happens in such a big tournament or a big series and it is avoidable, but it is an accident. I can see how important it for players is to have that time away from the game. But he could play 72 holes, he could play 150 holes, I couldn\u2019t care less.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cJust don't get on the back of a golf cart. I know we\u2019ve all jumped on the back of a golf cart for 20 or 30 metres ... but it\u2019s frustrating because it is avoidable and it leaves a massive hole in our team. Hopefully it\u2019s only the one game (that he misses),\u201d said Paine on SEN Radio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Five-time winners Australia on a four-match winning streak in the tournament while defending champions England on a four-match losing streak, staring at an early exit from the competition. Paine believes both Maxwell and the Australian team would be shattered over the manner in which the off-spin all-rounder sustained concussion injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s astonishing really. It\u2019s very unlucky. I\u2019m laughing because we\u2019re talking about in the middle of a World Cup, a key player in a professional sporting team, having a concussion from falling off the back of a golf cart. You\u2019ve got to see the funny side of it; it\u2019s not ideal.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s so ridiculous that it\u2019s hilarious really. At the same time, it\u2019s disappointing \u2026 I mean, Glenn Maxwell would be shattered. He didn\u2019t mean to do this. It is a freak accident. From his point of view and the team\u2019s point of view, they\u2019d be shattered,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mens-odi-wc-just-dont-get-on-the-back-of-a-golf-cart-advises-paine-over-maxwells-freak-concussion-injury.jpg", "alt_img": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Just don't get on the back of a golf cart, advises Paine over Maxwell\u2019s freak concussi", "alt_title": "Tim Paine hints at taking up coaching role post retirement as a player", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Just Don't Get On The Back Of A Golf Cart, Advises Paine Over Maxwell\u2019s Freak Concussion Injury On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Just Don't Get On The Back Of A Golf Cart, Advises Paine Over Maxwell\u2019s Freak Concussion Injury, Former Australia Test: Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine has one simple message for professional athletes after Glenn Maxwell\u2019s freak.", "seo_keywords": "Former Australia Test, Tim Paine, Glenn Maxwell, World Cup, Narendra Modi Stadium, SEN Radio", "tag": "", "tagging": "Former Australia Test, Tim Paine, Glenn Maxwell, World Cup, Narendra Modi Stadium, SEN Radio", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "mens-odi-wc-just-dont-get-on-the-back-of-a-golf-cart-advises-paine-over-maxwells-freak-concussion-injury", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "780", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-03 12:54:04", "updated": "2023-11-03 12:54:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Former Australia Test, Tim Paine, Glenn Maxwell, World Cup, Narendra Modi Stadium, SEN Radio", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-03 12:54:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mens-odi-wc-just-dont-get-on-the-back-of-a-golf-cart-advises-paine-over-maxwells-freak-concussion-injury-131622" }
