Australia's Glenn Maxwell Retires From ODIs After 149 Matches

News summary

Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has retired from One Day Internationals (ODIs), citing physical strain and fitness challenges as primary reasons for his decision. Maxwell, known for his explosive batting, including a record-breaking 201* against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup—the highest individual score in an ODI run chase—and the fastest ODI century for Australia, leaves behind a stellar ODI career with 149 matches, nearly 4,000 runs, and a strike rate of 126.7. He will continue to play T20 internationals and franchise cricket, focusing on the 2026 T20 World Cup. Maxwell's retirement follows a history of injuries, including a significant leg injury in 2022, which affected his fielding and overall ability to cope with the demands of the 50-over format. Cricket Australia praised him for one of the most exciting ODI careers, while Maxwell expressed gratitude for his journey and readiness to support upcoming players. His exit adds to recent ODI retirements from key Australian players, presenting a selection challenge ahead.
