Australia’s stand-in skipper Steve Smith on Wednesday announced his retirement from ODI cricket following his team’s four-wicket loss to India in the Champions Trophy semifinal here but the star batter will continue to play Tests and T20Is.

The 35-year-old, who was leading the world champion side in the absence of an injured Pat Cummins, informed his teammates after the match that he would be stepping away from the 50-over format with immediate effect.
