Glenn Maxwell is a 13th Melbourne Stars player to test positive for Covid-19. He had led a depleted side in their last two fixtures against Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades.
On the other hand, a number of Brisbane Heat players had also tested positive for the virus following rapid antigen tests on Tuesday. The results forced the BBL to make changes for three games at the last minute.
