Australia batter Glenn Maxwell will miss Saturday's World Cup match against England after falling off the back of a golf buggy and suffering a concussion.

The incident happened on Monday as Australia's squad played a round of golf on a day off in Ahmedabad.

Australia say there is no further injury and it is hoped he will be able to play later in the tournament.

Maxwell hit a 40-ball century, the fastest ton in World Cup history, last week against the Netherlands.

Last year the 35-year-old broke his leg in a freak accident at a birthday party.

England and Australia meet in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Jos Buttler's side are effectively out of contention for the semi-finals but a resurgent Australia are fourth in the table after four straight wins.

A win would move them closer to securing a place in the semi-finals.
