Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing the curtain down on a remarkable 14-year career. The explosive batter made the announcement on Monday, ending his journey with Australia across all three formats of the game.

Maxwell made his international debut in 2012 and went on to become one of Australia's most exciting and unpredictable match-winners. Known for his fearless batting and ability to change the course of a match single-handedly, he delivered several memorable performances throughout his career.

One of his most unforgettable innings came during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. Facing Afghanistan, Australia were struggling at 91 for seven while chasing a target of 292. Maxwell produced a remarkable unbeaten 201 off just 128 balls, guiding Australia to an extraordinary three-wicket victory. The innings is widely regarded as one of the greatest in World Cup history.

Maxwell last represented Australia at this year's T20 World Cup and has not played for the national side since then.

Across his international career, Maxwell featured in 286 matches, scoring 7,226 runs and taking 136 wickets.

In Test cricket, he played seven matches, scoring 339 runs and claiming eight wickets, including a century.

In 149 One-Day Internationals, he scored 3,390 runs, with four centuries and 23 half-centuries.

In 141 T20 Internationals, Maxwell accumulated 2,819 runs, including five centuries and 12 half-centuries.

Maxwell's retirement marks the end of an era for Australian cricket. His fearless approach, extraordinary shot-making and match-winning performances have left a lasting impression on fans around the world. His unforgettable double century against Afghanistan will remain one of the defining moments of his international career.
