An ambulance was called to the venue after Maxwell lost his consciousness and fell. Meanwhile, Cricket Australia issued a statement saying that Maxwell would play the T20Is against the Caribbeans and that his absence from the ODI squad had to do with his workload management amid his involvement in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL). The CA informed that it was aware of the incident in Adelaide and the all-rounder was discharged from the hospital within a few hours. Maxwell was rested for the upcoming three-match ODI series against West Indies, starting from February 2.

He was part of the Melbourne Stars squad for the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League (BBL). The CA, however, informed that the star all-rounder will return for the T20Is starting from February 9. "It is not related to him being replaced in the one-day squad, a decision that was purely based on workload management following the BBL. Maxwell will return for the Twenty20 Series," the CA was quoted by The Sydney Morning Herald as saying.
