Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from One Day Internationals (ODIs) at the age of 36, after an impressive career with 3,990 runs in 149 matches. He will shift focus to Twenty20 cricket as he aims for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Maxwell expressed concerns about his physical condition affecting his performance and decided it was best to step back to allow others an opportunity. He reflected on memorable moments, particularly his unmatched 201-run innings against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup, highlighting his impactful legacy.
I had a good chat with [chair of selectors] George Bailey and I asked him what his thoughts were going forward... I said to him, I don't think I am going to make that.
Maxwell's strike rate of 126.70 is the second-highest in ODI cricket, where he has crunched four hundreds and 23 half-centuries.
I felt like I was letting the team down a little bit with how my body was reacting to the conditions...it's time to start planning for people in my position.
Maxwell produced arguably the greatest innings in ODI World Cup history when he scored 201 against Afghanistan to single-handedly get the win for Australia.
