NEW DELHI: Marcus Stoinis, an all-round seam bowler for Australia, unexpectedly declared that he will be retiring from ODIs with immediate effect, ending his international 50-over career at 74 games.
Stoinis will remain eligible for selection in T20Is, according to a statement released by Cricket Australia (CA) on Thursday. He stated that he decided to withdraw from the 50-over format in order to concentrate on T20 cricket. Stoinis' retirement from ODIs also means CA will replace him with another player in Australia's squad for the ICC Champion's Trophy.
