RCB all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has said that his left foot injury has healed but it will take “several months” for him to be fully fit to prepare for the upcoming edition of the IPL. The RCB player had suffered a fractured left fibula in a horrific accident during a friend’s birthday party, days after Australia were out of the T20 World Cup at home in November last year.
In a video posted by RCB on social media ahead of the IPL season, scheduled to commence on March 31, Maxwell said –
“The leg’s okay. It’s going to be a number of months before I’m 100 percent.” The 34-year-old added that he is hopeful of doing the job for RCB following his recovery from the injury.
“Hopefully it’s (leg) good enough to get through the tournament and still do the job.” With IPL 2023 set to return to the home-and-away format after two years of playing in bio-bubbles due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Maxwell said he was pumped up to play in front of the home fans.
Maxwell added –
“Finally getting back after a couple of years (of playing inside bio-bubbles). It’s pretty exciting and I’m pretty pumped to play in front of our home fans.” He had contributed 301 runs and taken six wickets in 13 matches during the previous edition of IPL.
