Category: Cricket

Glenn Maxwell announced his retirement from international cricket on The Final Word podcast on 3 November 2026. His 2026-27 TGI Cricket Traders base cards, printed days before the news broke, are now his last as an active Australian international. Three World Cup wins, 7,226 international runs, a joint world record for T20I centuries: The Big Show's card set just got a whole lot more finite.

## What did Maxwell actually retire from?

Maxwell retired from T20 internationals, first-class cricket for Victoria, and List A cricket for Victoria. The trigger: Cricket Australia dropped him from the England T20I squad announced 2 November 2026, ending any quiet hope of a farewell at the MCG on 21 November. He acknowledged the direction: Australia needs fresh faces ahead of the 2028 LA Olympics and T20 World Cup.

His ODI retirement in June 2025 is old news. What's new is the T20I and red-ball closure. Critically, Maxwell is NOT retiring from the BBL: he's contracted with the Melbourne Stars through 2027-28 and will be back in the Big Bash this summer.

## Why does The Big Show's card set matter to collectors?

Maxwell played 7 Tests, 149 ODIs, and 130 T20Is across 14 years, amassing 7,226 international runs, 136 wickets, and one of only five Australian men to score centuries in all three formats. The highlights collectors care about:

- 5 T20I centuries, a joint world record with Rohit Sharma (Guinness World Records confirmed)
- Three World Cup wins: 2015 ODI WC, 2021 T20 WC, 2023 ODI WC
- 201* off 128 balls vs Afghanistan in the 2023 ODI WC group stage, batting with a broken leg
- Final international match: vs Oman, ICC Men's T20 WC, February 2026 (2 wickets, did not bat)

## What Cricket Traders cards does Maxwell have?

Here are his confirmed Cricket Traders cards across recent sets. No sold comps exist for any of these at time of writing, so no price guidance is given.

- 2024-25 TLA Cricket Traders Luxe: International Series Gold ISG18/36 #21/67 (Luxe-exclusive, numbered to 67)
- 2025-26 TGI Cricket Traders: Spotlight Gold (Player of the Match), card 55 of 70 in the insert

- 2026-27 TGI Cricket Traders: Base #024 (Australian Men's T20 Squad)
- 2026-27 TGI Cricket Traders: Base #106 (Melbourne Stars)

## Is 2026-27 TGI his last set as an Australian international?

Almost certainly yes. The 2026-27 TGI set dropped on 1 November 2026, two days before Maxwell's retirement went public. His base card #024 carries the 'Australian Men's T20 Squad' designation: a tag he will never hold again. This is the last time he appears as a current international in a TGI release.

Insert checklists (IS, IS Gold, Leaderboard, and others) are still unconfirmed. The set is only three days old. If Maxwell appears in those inserts, they'd be his final inserts as an active Aussie international too. These are worth tracking as checklists surface. Snap any pulls into CardLoft to log them against his now-closed international chapter.
