Glenn Maxwell has pulled out of The Hundred and wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis will replace the Australian all-rounder. London Spirit coach Shane Warne confirmed the development, on Fox Cricket podcast. "Unfortunately Glenn Maxwell has pulled out of the Hundred," Warne said on a Fox Cricket podcast. "We were really excited to get him in the draft. We know he's a match-winner and we were excited to have him. "Unfortunately he's pulled out of that and we've now replaced him with Josh Inglis from Western Australia, so we are lucky to have him."
Josh Inglis is currently in the UK playing for Leicestershire in the T20 Blast. The Australian is an exciting talent and was one of the reasons why the Perth Scorchers made it to the finals of the BBL 10 earlier this year. In 16 innings in BBL 10, the 26-year-old amassed 413 runs at an average of 34.42, while his strike rate was an impressive 140. The wicketkeeper-batsman is known for his power-hitting, along with his ability to play shots all around the park. The tournament kicks off on July 21, and the men's sides will have a chance to finalise their squads with the signing of a local player each in the Hundred's wildcard draft that is due on July 2.
