Australia star Glenn Maxwell suffers freak broken leg at party ruling him out of England games

Australia star Glenn Maxwell has suffered a freak broken leg at a party which will rule him out of his nation's upcoming One Day Internationals against old rivals England. Maxwell will miss the series - that kicks off next week - after breaking his left fibula.

Maxwell was partying with friends when he and a fellow pal found themselves in an unfortunate tangle when running across a tennis court. The pair both fell to the ground, with Maxwell's leg trapped under the other man causing the break.

The all-rounder's injury came just days after Australia were eliminated from the T20 World Cup, where Maxwell scored 118 runs at an average 39.33 across four games.
