Two-time World Cup winner Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from ODI cricket, but will continue to play T20Is for Australia.
The all-rounder, nicknamed ‘The Big Show’ due to his destructive, big-hitting batting, was part of Australia’s World Cup-winning sides in 2015 and 2023.
Their most recent triumph two years ago included his sensational, unbeaten double hundred in a group-stage win over Afghanistan.

Pretty much batting on one leg as he suffered badly with cramp late in his innings, Maxwell rescued Australia from 91-7 with a sensational 201 not out off 128 balls – widely considered the greatest ODI innings of all time.
Australia would ultimately win with 19 balls to spare, booking their place in the semi-finals, before going on to beat India in the final. He was also part of their 2021 T20 World Cup-winning side.
Maxwell’s retirement brings to an end a 13-year career in the format, with the 36-year-old scoring 3,990 runs and taking 77 wickets across his 149 caps.
His 126.70 batting strike-rate is the highest in ODI history among any batter to have scored at least 2,000 runs.
Announcing the news on The Final Word podcast. Maxwell said: “I think it’s time to start planning for people in my position, to have a crack at it and try and make that spot their own for the 2027 World Cup.
“I said to [chairman of selectors George Bailey] right then and there, ‘I don’t think I’m going to make that’.
“Hopefully they get enough of a lead-in where they can have success in that role.”
Maxwell’s retirement from ODIs follows on from fellow 2023 World Cup team-mates David Warner, Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis doing the same.

Knicks brass may have felt Tom Thibodeau left money on the table in the playoffs, but firing him is a major gamble
Mere minutes after the end of the New York Knicks’ 2024-25 season, Tom Thibodeau laid out the path forward.“Like you would do after every season, you take a step back, I think, decompress,” Thibodeau said following the Pacers’ 125-108 win in Game 6 of the 2025 Eastern Conference finals on Saturday — a victory that sent Indiana to the NBA Finals for the first time in a quarter-century and sent New York into a summer of uncertainty. “You do a deep dive on the team, and then, you analyze what you think you need to improve upon.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementEvidently, Knicks president Leon Rose didn’t need to take a step back. Didn’t need time to decompress. He’d already “conducted meetings with select players, Thibodeau, and some of his staff this week to assess the season,” according to SNY’s Ian Begley, had already performed […]

TJ Friedl called game on Tuesday, and he ended the Milwaukee Brewers’ eight-game winning streak in the process.Friedl, with two outs on the board in the bottom of the ninth inning at the Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night, started tracking what looked like a very clear home run from Milwaukee Brewers' left fielder Jake Bauers. With a runner on second, too, the shot would have tied the game up.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut as Friedl got to the wall, he played the ball perfectly. Friedl jumped up, stuck his glove just over the wall and stole the home run away from Bauers.
