Smith, who featured in 170 ODIs for Australia, scored 5800 runs at 43.28 including 12 centuries and 35 half centuries while also registering 28 wickets to his name.

The batter was also an integral member of Australia’s Cricket World Cup winning sides in 2015 and 2023.

Smith’s former teammate and current selection chair George Bailey said the retirement decision was fully supported by everyone within the Australian setup.

“We fully understand and support Steve’s decision to retire from One Day International cricket,” Bailey said.

“Steve has said on many occasions he is approaching the remainder of his playing career on a series-by-series basis, a position which hasn’t changed and one Cricket Australia supports.

“His record as a batter across 170 games is exemplary and to leave the format as a two-time World Cup winner cements his legacy as one of the great Australian ODI players.

“From an NSP (National Selection Panel) standpoint, Steve remains fully committed to Test cricket and is an integral member of and leader within that team.”
