Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell announced his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday, ending a 14-year career that included two ODI World Cup wins and one T20 World Cup title.

Maxwell, 38, made the announcement on The Final Word podcast. He had already retired from one-day internationals last year and now steps away from T20 internationals as well. He also retires from first-class and List A cricket for Victoria but will continue playing in the Big Bash League for the Melbourne Stars under a contract extended through the 2027-28 season.

His final international appearance came against Oman in the T20 World Cup in February, where he took 2-13 with the ball but did not bat. Australia exited the tournament in the group stage.

Maxwell expressed disappointment over missing a potential farewell match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground against England later this month. "There was, I suppose, a small hope or discussion that I might have been able to potentially get a send-off game at the MCG, but I can completely understand the direction they're going with this squad," he said.

Selectors have prioritized younger players, a move Maxwell acknowledged as necessary ahead of the 2028 Olympics. He noted ongoing discussions with team management that left the door open until recent squad selections confirmed the shift toward youth.

In his career, Maxwell played seven Tests, 149 ODIs, and 130 T20Is. He scored 3,990 runs in ODIs and 2,897 runs in T20Is at a strike rate of 154.42. He holds the joint record for most T20I centuries with five, shared with India's Rohit Sharma. Maxwell also took 128 wickets in the short formats with his off-spin.

His standout performance came in the 2023 ODI World Cup, where he scored an unbeaten 201 against Afghanistan in a remarkable chase. He contributed to Australia's 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cup victories and the 2021 T20 World Cup win.

Tributes have begun flowing from teammates and fans, highlighting Maxwell's explosive style and impact on the game. He leaves behind a legacy as one of Australia's most entertaining white-ball players.
