Glenn Maxwell retires from ODI cricket, calls time on 13-year career
File photo of Australia's Glenn Maxwell. Australian cricket star Glenn Maxwell, 36, has announced his retirement from One Day International (ODI) cricket after a 13-year career that included two World Cup victories, nearly 4,000 runs from 149 matches, and record-breaking performances including the highest batting strike rate in ODI history for players with over 2,000 runs. Maxwell informed selection chief George Bailey during February's Champions Trophy tournament about his decision, citing physical demands and his inability to continue until the 2027 World Cup. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I said to him right then and there, 'I don't think I'm going to make that'," Maxwell told the Final Word podcast. "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. Hopefully they get enough of a lead-in where they can have success in that role." Bombay Sport Exchange Ep 5: Shane Watson on IPL, India-Australia rivalry | Part 1 The decision was made before his recent finger injury that forced him out of this year's Indian Premier League. Maxwell joins other Australian cricket stars Marcus Stoinis, Steve Smith, and David Warner in retiring from the 50-over format, creating a significant void in the defending champions' lineup for their title defence. The all-rounder will continue his career in T20s for Australia and hasn't retired from first-class cricket either. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Encontre voos low-cost Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo Maxwell explained that the Champions Trophy games helped solidify his decision to retire from ODIs. "My decision to retire from one-day international cricket was probably more on the back of the first couple of games in the Champions Trophy," he said. "I felt like I gave myself a really good opportunity to be fit and ready for those games. The first game in Lahore, we played on a rock-hard outfield. Post that game I was pretty sore." "We were lucky enough to have a washout against South Africa, where I had a bit more time to have a bit of rest and get myself ready for the next game. The following game against Afghanistan, we fielded for 50 overs on a really, really wet outfield. It was slippery, it was soft, and I just didn't pull up that well." "I started to (realise) that if I don't have the perfect conditions in 50-over cricket, my body just struggles to get through that. It feels like it's a tiring affair just to get through – and almost surviving – the 50 overs, let alone being at my best throughout that 50 overs, and then going out there and trying to perform with the bat as well. I felt like I was letting the team down a little bit with how my body was reacting to the conditions. " Bombay Sport Exchange Ep 5: Shane Watson on how IPL gave him a lifeline & his tribute to Phil Hughes Maxwell's career statistics are remarkable, finishing with a strike rate of 126.70, the highest among players with at least 2,000 runs in ODI history. His achievements include 77 wickets at 47.32 with his off-spin bowling and exceptional fielding skills. The highlight of his career was his memorable double-century against Afghanistan during the 2023 World Cup. Reflecting on that innings in his 2024 book, The Showman, Maxwell wrote: "This was a moment, like Steve Waugh's Ashes ton on the last ball of the day, or Michael Bevan's final four to beat the Windies. One of those events that makes you ask 'Where were you when...'. It was crazy to think that I now had one of these, a moment when Australia was all on board."

‘Detective Ujjwalan' box office collections day 10: Dhyan Sreenivasan's murder mystery crosses Rs 5.56 cr worldwide
(Picture Courtesy:Facebook) Dhyan Sreenivasan is finally celebrating a box office success this year with the murder mystery 'Detective Ujjwalan'. As per the Sacnilk reports, the film has collected Rs 5.56 crore worldwide in ten days, with Rs 4.96 crore from India net collections. Dhyan Sreenivasan scores his first hit of 2025 While the movie opened modestly, it has shown a steady run across weekdays and weekends, steadily building its audience and word-of-mouth. The film's growing collections signal that audiences are enjoying this crime comedy blend, marking a positive turning point for Dhyan's 2025 releases. A lighthearted detective faces a darker challenge 'Detective Ujjwalan' revolves around Ujjwalan, a quirky librarian who moonlights as the village detective, helping solve small-time problems like lost gold or missing goats. Plachikavu village is so peaceful that even the police lean on Ujjwalan's skills to handle petty crime. But the tone shifts when a series of brutal murders shock the quiet village, leaving everyone to wonder whether their local amateur sleuth can rise to the challenge of catching a dangerous criminal. As tension builds, Ujjwalan must stretch beyond his usual comic charm to crack a case that threatens the entire village's safety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Detective Ujjwalan - Official Trailer ETimes verdict ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, 'There are some rules that a detective story needs to make it work and for the effect to stay with us. Some red herrings that will confuse the audience so that we are emotionally and intellectually caught up in the story, a detective who uses logic that will baffle us with its brilliance and a final revelation of the culprit that will shock us. Detective Ujjwalan does not use any of these devices in a forceful enough manner. The period settings are interesting and the village characters are loveable enough, though some of the superb comic talents from social media, Ameen, Nihal Nizam, Nibraz and Shahubas, are barely utilised. The film seems to go in the direction of most Dhyan films; a bit of an anti-climax.' What's next? With Rs 57 lakhs collected on its tenth day, 'Detective Ujjwalan' continues to draw crowds despite facing competition from new releases. Given the current momentum, the movie is likely to continue adding to its box office tally in the coming weeks.
