Since the start of the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup, a special light show has been organized in each stadium for the fans. These light shows are performed during the drinks break of the 2nd innings and have had positive reactions from the crowds in the stadium. But now it looks like the players aren’t fans of the program. 

Glenn Maxwell had scored a record breaking century against Netherlands and was speaking to the press after the match. He was asked by a reporter about the light show and how it disturbed him. Maxwell revealed that he got headaches due to the light show and it was a terrible thing for cricketers. He said, “Well, I had something like that light show similar happened at Perth Stadium during a Big Bash game 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 when you’ve got this thing coming at you quickly and your eyes take so long to adjust and I think we just lost a wicket and the Perth Stadium lights went nuts.”

He added that he got a headache during the match and his eyes took time to readjust after the light show. Maxwell now covers his eyes every time and ignores it. He agreed that it was great for fans, but a terrible experience for players

After Warner tweeted this, many fans started joking about how Maxwell and Warner are in a rift.
