Maxwell has been ruled out of the ODI series against England beginning this week and will then undergo a lengthy rehabilitation after fracturing his left fibula on Saturday.

Maxwell is set to miss the Big Bash League as well.

Maxwell’s injury is the latest in a growing line of freak accidents to strike down star players.
