Curtain comes down on Big Show's Australian ODI career
Glenn Maxwell has been hailed as one of the most influential figures in one-day cricket history after the destructive batsman retired from the 50-over format. Maxwell announced on Monday he had played his last ODI for Australia, instead opting to focus solely on Twenty20 cricket ahead of next year's World Cup in India and Sri Lanka amid concerns over his body. The 36-year-old's exit from the format comes after Steve Smith also walked away following this year's Champions Trophy, part of a national changing of the guard. Maxwell finishes with the second highest strike-rate in ODI history, with his 3149 career runs struck at a rate of 126.70 and average of 33.81. He also has both the fastest hundred and only double century by an Australian, after his back-to-back epics against Netherlands and Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup. Maxwell said he had been tempted to play on until Australia's title defence in 2027, but felt his body could no longer handle 50 overs in the field during the Champions Trophy. "I started to think if I don't have the perfect conditions in 50-over cricket, my body probably struggles to get through," Maxwell said in an extended interview on the Final Word Podcast. "I realised it was probably a bit far-fetched to to keep I suppose reaching for that next series and try to hold on. "In reality, I think I'd be doing a disservice to the team ... more hoping rather than expecting to get through. "I don't think that would be fair to anyone." Carnage by Glenn Maxwell 🔥The fastest century in Men's Cricket World Cup history 🙌Highlights: | #AUSvNED — ICC Cricket World Cup (@cricketworldcup) October 26, 2023Maxwell broke onto the scene when he was picked for an ODI against Pakistan in Sharjah in 2012 as a batting allrounder. He almost immediately followed the line of Michael Bevan and Mike Hussey as great middle-order talents, albeit with more flair and punch. The right-hander played a prominent role in Australia's 2015 success on home soil, belting 102 from 53 balls against Sri Lanka in a match at the SCG. He was dropped from the team a year later, but was back for the 2019 World Cup and then had his crowning moment four years later in India. With Australia's spot in the tournament in peril, Maxwell famously blasted an unbeaten 201 from 128 balls while batting on one leg to take Australia from 7-91 to a successful chase of 292 against Afghanistan. "I'm extremely fortunate that I was able to have my moment," Maxwell said. "Almost everything that you've worked hard for, the peak of your powers, being able to put it in front of the world to see. "It's almost like saying this is the best of me, you can either take it or leave it, but this is all I've got." Maxwell would hit the winning runs in the final against India, after also getting the key wicket of Rohit Sharma with the ball. "Congratulations to Glenn on what has been one of the most exciting and influential one-day international careers in the format's history," Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg said. "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."

I think it's time to start planning for people in my position: Glenn Maxwell announces ODI retirement
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 2, 2025, 11:55 IST Australian allrounder Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from One Day Internationals (ODIs), bringing an end to a vibrant career that spanned over a decade. Maxwell, 35, made the decision to shift his full focus to T20 cricket, with an eye on the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. Maxwell played 149 ODIs for Australia between 2012 and 2025, amassing 3990 runs at an explosive strike rate of 126.70 and an average of 33.81. With the ball, he took 77 wickets with his offspin and was also a key fielder, taking 91 catches. His most iconic moment came during the 2023 World Cup, where he scored a sensational unbeaten 201 against Afghanistan—widely hailed as one of the greatest ODI innings of all time. The Victorian was part of Australia's victorious World Cup campaigns in 2015 and 2023 and leaves the format with four centuries and 23 fifties to his name. Reflecting on his journey, Maxwell told The Final Word Podcast , 'I was just proud to be playing a couple of games for Australia… I always said I wouldn't hold on to a spot selfishly. It's time to let others build towards 2027.' Cricket Australia confirmed the decision, noting Maxwell's plans to focus on the Big Bash League and international T20 commitments. George Bailey, Chair of Selectors and former captain, praised Maxwell's legacy: 'He will be remembered as one of ODI cricket's most dynamic players. His commitment to Australia and ability to deliver on the big stage has been second to none.' Maxwell's last ODI appearance came earlier this year in the Champions Trophy against India. He is currently sidelined with a leg injury that ruled him out of the IPL.

Matildas finally have a fulltime coach after Montemurro is hired to guide Australian women's team
SYDNEY (AP) — The Matildas finally have a fulltime coach after Joe Montemurro 's appointment Monday to guide the Australian women's national soccer team. The World Cup semifinalists have been without a permanent head coach since Tony Gustavsson's contract expired after the Olympics in Paris last year, with Tom Sermanni working as interim manager. Montemurro, who is Australian, won five trophies with Juventus following a successful stint at Arsenal, where he claimed the 2018 FA Women's League Cup and the Women's Super League in 2019, before joining French powerhouse Lyon last year. ___
