BREAKING: Glenn Maxwell Announces Retirement From International Cricket

The 38-year-old all-rounder leaves as a three-time world champion and one of Australia’s most influential white-ball players.

  • On Monday, 38-year-old Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell announced his retirement from all international cricket, ending a groundbreaking career that reshaped white-ball batting.
  • Known as "The Big Show," Maxwell was a modern great who helped Australia win three World Cups, including the 2015 and 2023 ODI titles and the 2021 T20 World Cup.
  • Across 286 matches, the all-rounder scored 7226 runs and took 136 wickets, leaving as a record-holder for the most T20I hundreds with five, level with India's Rohit Sharma.
  • His defining moment remains an unbeaten 201 against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup, where he helped Australia chase down 292 after the team collapsed to 91/7.
  • Maxwell had already retired from ODIs in June 2025, and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting previously suggested the all-rounder's international career was nearing its end.
