The 38-year-old Australian all-rounder leaves behind three world cup titles and a record-breaking double century against Afghanistan.
Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from international cricket, according to reports by Cricinfo, according to India Today and The Indian Express. The 38-year-old concludes a 14-year career in which he represented Australia across all three formats.
Maxwell played 149 One-Day Internationals (ODIs), 130 T20 Internationals (T20Is) and seven Tests. He scored 3,990 runs in ODIs, 2,897 runs in T20Is and 339 runs in Test cricket. He also claimed 136 international wickets.
His career included two ODI World Cup triumphs in 2015 and 2023, and a T20 World Cup title in 2021. He is noted for his unbeaten 201 off 128 balls against Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium during the 2023 ODI World Cup, an innings that helped Australia chase 292 after falling to 91 for seven.
Maxwell had previously retired from ODI cricket in June 2025, with his final appearance in that format occurring against India in the Champions Trophy semi-final in Dubai. His final international appearance was a T20I against Oman on February 20, 2026.
While stepping away from the international stage, Maxwell remains contracted to the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League until the end of the 2026-27 season.
