Injuries are common in any sport. However, when it happens while playing a completely different sport, it can be painful. Here, we take a look at the list of three cricketers who recently suffered a major injury while playing golf.
Golf is one of the favourite sports of cricketers outside of the game they play professionaly. However, sadly, Golf has contributed to injuries for some cricketers in the recent past.
1) Jonny Bairstow suffered a major injury while playing golf
Bairstow is one player who had to face a long stay on the sidelines due to an injury while playing Golf. He was one of the main players for England in the 2022 T20 World Cup. However, a few months before the event, he suffered multiple injuries while playing golf. It led to several surgeries and Bairstow had to wait for months to get back on the field. He also missed IPL 2023. It needs to be noted that his form has also been disappointing ever since he returned from this injury.
2) Glenn Maxwell
Maxwell‘s case is a really freak one. It was not actually while playing Golf that he suffered an injury. Maxi fell from his golf cart and suffered a concussion. Hence, he has to miss a few games in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Considering he is in excellent form, he is a major loss for his side in the tournament.
3) Josh Inglis
Josh Inglis is also one of the cricketers who recently suffered a major injury while playing golf. Inglis was also one of the players who missed 2022 T20 World Cup due to a golf injury. He cut his hand while playing golf. Cameron Green had to replace the wicket-keeper for the tournament due to this.
