Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell, 38, has retired from international Twenty20 cricket after playing 130 T20 matches.

Glenn Maxwell, 38, has retired from international Twenty20 cricket and from playing for his state, Victoria. He had already retired from one-day international cricket in 2025.

Maxwell played 130 T20 internationals, scoring 2,897 runs at an average of 28.97 with a strike rate of 154.42. He took 51 wickets and 62 catches, and scored a highest T20 international score of 145 not out against Sri Lanka in 2016. He was part of Australia's squad at the T20 World Cup held in India and Sri Lanka earlier this year.

Maxwell said announcing his retirement to his Victoria teammates was harder than expected. 'I'm grateful for the time I was able to play for my country,' he said. 'If you had offered me that career when I first walked into the Vic change rooms in 2009-ish, I would have bitten your hand off.'
