Superstar Glenn Maxwell<\/a> has been ruled out of Australia's World Cup<\/a> match against England this Saturday, with a concussion leaving a cloud over his short-term availability.<\/p>\n

His availability beyond Saturday's match against England remains unclear, with doubts surrounding his ability to recover in time for their penultimate group match against Afghanistan next Tuesday in Mumbai.<\/p>\n

Maxwell has been in scintillating form this World Cup, hitting 196 runs at an average of 39.20 \u2013 including his record-breaking 106 off just 44 balls against the Netherlands<\/a> last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The indefinite break comes after Maxwell missed Australia's white-ball tour on South Africa earlier this year due to a left ankle injury.<\/p>\n

A lack of luck with missing cricket of late is unfortunately not foreign to Maxwell, after also fracturing his fibula on the same leg in a freak accident at a 50th birthday in November last year.<\/p>\n

The Victorian slipped while running on a private tennis court, before his leg became tangled underneath his friend and subsequently caused the fracture.<\/p>\n
