Ending up in hospital after a late-night party in Adelaide was “less than ideal”, conceded Australian swashbuckler Glenn Maxwell about the headline-grabbing incident last month, saying his family was affected more than him by the dramatic turns of events.

Maxwell was out drinking and watching a concert by ‘Six and Out’, the band featuring former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, when he felt unwell and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance last month. He reportedly lost consciousness during the ride.
