Glenn Maxwell retires from international cricket, report claims

Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from all international cricket, concluding a decorated career that featured two Cricket World Cup titles and a T20 World Cup triumph in 2021. The 38-year-old all-rounder finishes his international journey having played seven Tests, 149 One-Day Internationals, and 130 T20 Internationals for Australia. Speaking on the Final Word podcast, Maxwell confirmed that he will also step away from first-class and List A cricket while continuing to play domestic T20 cricket for the Melbourne Stars.

Maxwell noted that team management is looking toward the future and younger players ahead of the 2028 Olympics. Although he had hoped for a potential farewell match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Maxwell explained that he has shifted focus toward rehabbing his knee to remain fully prepared for the upcoming Big Bash League season, where his contract runs through 2027-28.
