Overview
- Maxwell fractured his right wrist when a Mitchell Owen drive struck him during a nets session in Mount Maunganui.
- Australia did not select him for the first two T20Is on October 29 and 31, and he is aiming to be fit for the games on November 2, 6 and 8.
- His cast was removed this week, he is now in a moulded plastic splint, and he has begun basic hand-therapy movements under guidance.
- He said surgery offered a slim chance to play versus none without it, with pain while batting expected to determine match readiness and no recall yet confirmed.
- If unavailable for India, he expects to be ready earlier for the Big Bash League, where he leads the Melbourne Stars from December 18, and he plans safer net practices after another freak setback.
