Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from international cricket, though he will continue playing T20 for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League. The 38-year-old's final international appearance came against Oman in the T20 World Cup where he took 2-13 with off-spin. Maxwell scored five T20 international hundreds, sharing a record with India's Rohit Sharma, and is one of only five Australian men—alongside Shane Watson, David Warner, Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh—to score a ton in all three international formats.
In his last ODI, he recorded a match-winning 201 not out against Afghanistan. Across 286 international matches, Maxwell amassed over 7,000 runs and 136 wickets. On the Final Word podcast, he expressed understanding of the direction the T20 squad is taking, noting the need to develop young talent ahead of the 2028 Olympics.
Maxwell had considered playing Australia's T20 series at home to England in late November but ultimately quit one-day international cricket in June.
