SYDNEY: Marcus Stoinis on Thursday announced his immediate retirement from one-day international cricket, leaving Australia needing to replace the all-rounder in their Champions Trophy squad.
The surprise announcement is another blow to world champions Australia ahead of the elite eight-team 50-over tournament, which begins on February 19 in Pakistan and Dubai. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has already been ruled out with a back injury and captain Pat Cummins is likely to be sidelined by an ankle problem.
“Playing ODI cricket for Australia has been an incredible journey and I´m grateful for every moment I´ve had in the green and gold,” said Stoinis, 35, who made his debut in 2015. He established himself as a regular in the side the following year, scoring 146 not out against New Zealand at Eden Park and taking three wickets.
