Glenn Maxwell has retired from international cricket, ending a 14-year Australia career in which he won two 50-over World Cups and a T20 World Cup, the ICC reported. The 38-year-old all-rounder, who had already given up one-day internationals in 2025, will keep playing franchise T20 cricket, including for the Melbourne Stars in the coming Big Bash League, ABC News reported. He has also ended his state career with Victoria.
Maxwell played 7 Tests, 149 ODIs and 130 T20 internationals. He scored 3,990 ODI runs at a strike rate of 126.7 and 2,897 T20I runs at a strike rate of 154.4, with ten international hundreds and 136 international wickets, according to the ICC.
His best-known innings was an ODI double hundred in a remarkable chase against Afghanistan at the 2023 World Cup in India, which Australia went on to win. He was also part of the winning sides at the 2015 World Cup and the 2021 T20 World Cup.
His last match for Australia was their final game of the 2026 T20 World Cup, held in India and Sri Lanka, against Oman.
