LOS ANGELES — One of the television screens that hung in the home clubhouse made the Yankees' plans clear, part motivational and part informational.
They had just staved off elimination in Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, and Game 5 with Gerrit Cole on the mound was less than 24 hours away.

Australia's Glenn Maxwell calls time on ODIs
Explosive Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell called time on his one-day international career Monday, but will continue in Twenty20 cricket with his eye on next year's World Cup. The 36-year-old, who played 149 ODIs, blasting 3,990 runs, said he was starting to feel the physical toll of the 50-over game. Advertisement "I felt like I was letting the team down a little bit with how my body was reacting to the conditions," he said. "I had a good chat with (chair of selectors) George Bailey and I asked him what his thoughts were going forward. "We talked about the 2027 (50-over) World Cup and I said to him: 'I don't think I am going to make that, it's time to start planning for people in my position to have a crack at it and make the position their own'." Maxwell's strike rate of 126 is the second highest in ODI cricket, behind only West Indian heavy hitter Andre Russell, where he has crunched four hundreds and 23 half-centuries. He also took 77 wickets with his off-spin. Advertisement "Congratulations to Glenn on what has been one of the most exciting and influential one-day international careers in the format's history," said Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg. "Australian cricket is indebted to Glenn for his ODI exploits and excited that he will now focus on our quest to win the ICC T20 World Cup next year." mp/dh
