Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell expressed his disapproval of the light show and fireworks that took place during the match against the Netherlands in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. While fireworks and light displays are commonly used for celebrations and entertainment during cricket matches, Maxwell found the mid-match nightclub-style light shows to be a "dumb idea" that can lead to "shocking headaches." His comments shed light on the potential impact of such displays on players, particularly in high-pressure and competitive matches.

"Well, I had something like that light show happen at Perth Stadium during a Big Bash game,” Maxwell said after his man-of-the-match knock of 106 off 44 balls.

“And I just felt like it gave me shocking headaches and it takes me a while for my eyes to readjust and I just think it’s the dumbest idea for cricketers. So, I just try and cover up as much as I possibly can and ignore it but it’s a horrible, horrible idea. Great for the fans, horrible for the players.” Maxwell said in conversation with the official broadcaster.
