It will “nag me for the rest of my life,” according to Glenn Maxwell, to miss the next tour of India because of an accident injury.

Famous Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell stated he would “nag” himself for the rest of his life over missing the impending tour of India owing to an accident injury. At a friend’s birthday party in November of last year, Maxwell broke the tibula in his left leg, which caused him to miss three months of work. “Probably will nag at me for the rest of my life,” said Maxwell while doing commentary during a Big Bash League game on Fox Cricket.

“It’s nice getting the opportunity to watch your teammates play, especially over there. I think they’ve got the squad that’s probably as good as I’ve seen go over to India since I’ve been watching Tests over there, anyway.”  The first test for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played on February 9 at Nagpur. Australia will also play in New Delhi (February 17–21), Dharamsala (March 1–5), and Ahmedabad. Australia hasn’t won a Test series in India since 2004. (March 9-13). Three ODIs — at Mumbai on March 17, Visakhapatnam on March 19, and Chennai on March 24 — will follow the Test matches (March 22).

Maxwell won’t play in the Tests, but he could return for the short-over series. “He’s not going to make it by the end of the BBL, unfortunately. But he’s very diligent in his return to play with his rehab. He’s been down to the St Kilda Football Club a bit and has been at the Junction Oval with Cricket Victoria,” Melbourne Stars coach David Hussey told SEN earlier this month. “I dare say towards the end of January, he may be available or hitting some cricket balls to try and get back to play some state cricket and Shield cricket to hopefully get on that plane for the One-Day tour of India for Australia.”
