Glenn Maxwell retires from T20 international cricket

The all-rounder has played his last T20 match for Australia.

Confirmed

Glenn Maxwell has retired from T20 international cricket. Australian Associated Press (AAP) reported the announcement. The Guardian Australia also reported the news. T20 is the shortest form of the game. Each team bats for 20 overs. Maxwell is an all-rounder, which means he bats and bowls. He is known for hitting the ball hard and playing unusual shots. He has been a key part of Australia's short-form teams for years. AAP reported that there will be no farewell match for him at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). His retirement means Australia will need to find a new player for his spot in the T20 side. The reports say his decision covers T20 international cricket. It is not yet known what other cricket he will keep playing.
