India vs Australia Live: Champions Trophy 2025 Semi-Final – Toss, Scorecard & Where to Watch
Steve Smith Announces Retirement from ODIs After Champions Trophy Exit
Australia’s star batter Steve Smith has announced his retirement from One-Day Internationals (ODIs) following his team’s Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final loss to India in Dubai. The 35-year-old top-scored for Australia with 73 runs in the match, but his efforts weren’t enough to secure a victory.
Smith’s ODI Career & Achievements
Smith leaves the ODI format with an impressive record, having played 170 matches and scored 5,800 runs at an average of 43.28 and a strike rate of 86.96. His career includes 12 centuries and 35 half-centuries, with his highest score being 164 against New Zealand in 2016. Starting as a leg-spinning all-rounder, he also took 28 wickets and held 90 catches.
A key figure in Australia’s 2015 and 2023 World Cup-winning squads, Smith captained the ODI side after Michael Clarke’s retirement, leading the team in 64 matches and securing 32 wins. He returned as an interim captain for the Champions Trophy 2025, stepping in for the injured Pat Cummins.
Smith’s Statement on Retirement
Announcing his decision to his teammates after the semi-final, Smith stated,
“It has been an incredible journey, and I’ve loved every moment of it. Winning two World Cups and sharing the field with amazing teammates are memories I’ll cherish forever. With the 2027 World Cup on the horizon, it feels like the right time to step aside and allow the next generation to prepare.”
While stepping away from ODIs, Smith will continue to play Test cricket and T20 Internationals. He emphasized his focus on the upcoming World Test Championship Final, the West Indies series, and the home Ashes series against England.
Tributes from Cricket Australia
George Bailey, Australia’s chief selector, lauded Smith’s contribution, saying,
“Steve’s ODI record is exceptional, and winning two World Cups cements his legacy among Australia’s greatest. We respect his decision, and he remains an integral part of our Test team.”
Smith’s departure marks the end of an era for Australian cricket, leaving a lasting impact on the ODI format as one of its finest players.
