Glenn Maxwell announces international retirement, brings Australia career to an end

Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has wrapped up his international career on November 2, 2026, stepping away from the national team after representing his country across all three formats. Renowned for his aggressive hitting, useful off-spin, and brilliant fielding, Maxwell leaves behind a legacy as a dominant white-ball player who helped secure three global trophies, including consecutive 50-over World Cup titles in 2015 and 2023 alongside a T20 World Cup victory in 2021.

Among his most legendary knocks was an unbeaten double century at the Wankhede Stadium during the 2023 tournament, where he rescued Australia from a dismal position of 91 for seven while chasing 292 against Afghanistan. Battling severe cramps and struggling for mobility, the veteran batter smashed an undefeated 201 from 128 balls with 21 fours and 10 sixes, sharing an unbroken 202-run partnership with Pat Cummins to seal a thrilling three-wicket win.

Over his career, Maxwell accumulated 339 runs in seven Tests, 3,990 runs across 149 one-day internationals with four centuries, and 2,897 runs in 130 T20 internationals featuring five centuries, while also contributing significant wicket-taking hauls and extensive franchise experience globally.
