Nicknamed ‘The Big Show’, Maxwell ends his ODI career with 3,990 runs at an average of 33.81, with four hundreds and 23 half-centuries.

He has the second-best ODI strike rate of all-time (126.70) and as an off-spinner he has claimed 77 wickets.

Cricket Australia’s chief executive Todd Greenberg said: ”Congratulations to Glenn on what has been one of the most exciting and influential one-day international careers in the format’s history.

“Glenn’s ballistic batting has lit up the cricket world and been one of the cornerstones of Australia’s continued success in the 50-over game, including his heroic role in the 2023 World Cup triumph.

“As with other greats of the game, crowds have flocked to grounds just to watch Glenn bat and children have been inspired to pick up a bat after seeing him put opposition attacks to the sword with a breathtaking array of shots.”

Maxwell’s most recent game was with the Punjab Kings in April but a hand injury ruled him out of the rest of the IPL season.

He has played in 116 T20 internationals and hopes to feature in the 2026 T20 World Cup, which takes place in India and Sri Lanka from 8 February-8 March.

“His level of natural talent and skill is remarkable,” added George Bailey. “His energy in the field, under-rated ability with the ball and longevity has been superb.

“Fortunately, he still has much to offer Australia in the T20 format. All things going well, he will be pivotal in the next 12 months as we build toward the World Cup early next year.”
