Former Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds died at the age of 46 in a car crash late on Saturday and Queensland police confirmed the development. His former team-mates and contemporaries were shocked to hear the news and they posted their condolences to the former cricketer’s family.

In a recent development, former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds died in a car accident about 50 Kilometers outside Townsville on Saturday night at 46. Symonds played 26 Tests, 198 one-day internationals, and 14 T20Is for Australia between 1998 and 2009 contributing with his all-round skills.

Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has said that Glenn Maxwell can still be included in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka as he has a great record in the sub-continent. Maxwell has played only seven Tests in his career and also hasn’t been named in the red-ball team for Sri Lanka series.

Cricket Australia have announced the team for multi-format series in Sri Lanka and pacer Pat Cummins is rested from T20Is. Other major exclusions include Adam Zampa who will miss entire tour as his wife is expected to give birth to their child and Marcus Harris has been dropped from Test matches.
