Delhi Capitals' Marcus Stoinis not replacing Glenn Maxwell for SA tour irks Twitterati

Glenn Maxwell is out of Australia's squad for their tour of South Africa. Maxwell has picked up an elbow injury. Maxwell sustained the injury while playing in the Big Bash League 2019-20. It can take up to 6 to 8 weeks for him to recover.

Cricket Australia announced that D'Arcy Short has replaced Maxwell for the upcoming tour. However, the news of Short replacing Maxwell came as a big surprise to many fans. Many assumed that Marcus Stoinis will be the one to replace Maxwell as the all-rounder has been enjoying a scintillating run of form on the domestic circuit. After D'Arcy Short's selection, fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment.
