Australia cricketer Glenn Maxwell has been left 'embarrassed' after losing consciousness on a drunken night out.
The all-rounder has already been advised by captain Pat Cummins that he may need to take a look at his off-field behaviour.
Maxwell went with friends to Governor Hindmarsh in Adelaide last Friday to watch a performance by Six and Out, a band made up of former pro cricketers including former Ashes hero Brett Lee.
Australian newspaper The Age reports that multiple sources confirmed that Maxwell was drinking on the night.

It is claimed that the 35-year-old ventured backstage after taking pictures with people in the crowd following the show.
Maxwell and friends drank and sang with Six and Out but it was during this point where he lost unconscious.
He didn't respond immediately to attempts to awake him and an ambulance was called.
Maxwell's manager Ben Tippett has admitted he is feeling 'sorry' for the incident, saying: "Glenn is a little embarrassed by the whole thing.
"He was a bit sore and sorry on Saturday, but he’s back in Melbourne and resumed training yesterday. He’s not under investigation by Cricket Australia."
Maxwell had initially been included in the Australia squad for the ODI series against the West Indies, which begins on February 2.
However, after discussions between Maxwell and the selectors, he was withdrawn from the squad to give him extra rest before the T20 series.
Maxwell already knew he would not be playing in the ODI series before he went on the night out.
Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley confirmed that was the case earlier this week.
He told 2GB: "He was always due to be rested... He’s got some rehab that needs to be done around the one-day series so that is unrelated.
"As it relates to some of the reports we’re just getting to the bottom of this, and it’s too early to speculate."
But Maxwell's skipper Cummins admits that he may have to change his behaviour moving forward.

Asked if Maxwell needs to reconsider his choices, Cummins said: "Potentially, I think only ‘Maxy’ can answer that one.
"I was there at the Gov for the concert, but I left pretty early – I knew he was in town but I didn’t cross paths with Maxy at all.
"We’re all adults and part of being an adult is you make your own decisions. In terms of this incident he wasn’t on tour with Australia, he was over there for a private event, so he wasn’t with the cricket team.

"So it is a little bit different, but absolutely, any decision you make you’ve got to own it and be comfortable with it.
"I think in terms of performance on the field you can’t really ask for much more from how the players have performed, but also I think the way we’ve gone about it.
"The team has shown incredible discipline, and I think they’ve made a lot of people proud with the way we’ve gone about it over the last couple of years."
