Glenn Maxwell open to playing 50-over games despite ODI retirement
What's the story
Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell has expressed his willingness to play 50-over cricket for Victoria, even after retiring from ODIs. The player, who is now a one-format player, lost his Cricket Australia (CA) contract last month. Despite the setback, he remains open to representing Victoria in One-Day Cup matches when available and needed. Notably, Maxwell retired from ODIs in June last year.
Career trajectory
Maxwell's List A appearances for Victoria
Maxwell played two One-Day Cup games for Victoria in September last year, six months after his ODI retirement. He even scored his first List A century for the state against Queensland during these games. The matches were part of Maxwell's preparation for the T20I tour of New Zealand. It remains to be seen whether the 38-year-old will take part in the 2028 ICC T20 World Cup and the LA Olympics.
