Glenn Maxwell, the dynamic all-rounder renowned as 'The Big Show,' has announced his retirement from international cricket. The 38-year-old made the decision on Tuesday, citing a need to prioritize his physical well-being for upcoming tournaments. Maxwell's illustrious international career saw him represent Australia in 149 ODIs, 130 T20Is, and seven Tests.
He was instrumental in Australia's triumphs, including the 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cups and the 2021 T20 World Cup. Maxwell's explosive batting and off-spin bowling yielded 3,990 ODI runs and 2,897 T20I runs, alongside 128 wickets in short formats.
The cricketer had previously retired from one-day internationals last year. His aspirations for a final international appearance at his home ground, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, against England this month were not realized due to the national selectors' focus on developing younger talent.
