Australia's explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has walked away from T20I cricket at 38, ending a career of fearless hitting.
Glenn Maxwell has called time on his international career. The Australian dynamo has retired from T20 internationals, closing the book on one of the most thrilling short-format careers of his generation.
The 38-year-old finishes with 2,897 T20I runs at an average of 28.97, numbers built on boundary-clearing power and a willingness to attack from the first ball. He had already stepped away from one-day internationals in 2025, so this move completes his exit from Australia's national colours.
Maxwell is also done with domestic duty for Victoria. He admitted that telling his state teammates his last one-day game would be his final appearance was tougher than he had expected, and he got emotional in the moment.
The Big Show isn't leaving the stage entirely. Maxwell will keep playing franchise cricket, so fans can still catch his trademark fireworks in leagues around the world.
