Stonis’ ODI career
Stoinis shared his thoughts on his retirement, saying, “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. This wasn’t an easy decision, but I believe it’s the right time for me to step away from ODIs and fully focus on the next chapter of my career.” Stoinis made his mark after debuting against England at Headingley, scoring 146 not out against New Zealand at Eden Park. His career in ODI cricket saw him score 1,495 runs and take 48 wickets over 74 matches.
