The 35-year-old Smith, informed his team-mates immediately after the loss to India that he had played his last ODI match, meaning he will not be part of Australia's team for the 2027 ODI World Cup despite standing in as captain for the Champions Trophy in the absence of Pat Cummins.

"It has been a great ride and I have loved every minute of it. There have been so many amazing times and wonderful memories. Winning two World Cups was a great highlight along with the many fantastic team-mates who shared the journey," Smith said in a statement.

Opening up on his decision, Smith said that it was the perfect time for new faces to step up in the ODI format.

"Now is a great opportunity for people to start preparing for the 2027 World Cup so it feels like the right time to make way."
