David first shocked the sporting world by announcing his retirement from Test and One Day International cricket in June last year.
And then last month he made the emotional decision to retire from one-day international cricket ahead of his final Test match.
David hit a match-winning 57 runs in his final innings to help Australia secure victory at the SCG and complete a 3-0 win over Pakistan, giving him the perfect farewell to red-ball cricket.
The veteran said he felt ‘comfortable’ when the time came to end his ODI career, including after Australia’s World Cup win in India late last year.
He stressed that the decision would create opportunities to play franchise cricket abroad and will not rule out a comeback if Australia needs an opener for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.
‘It was a decision I felt very comfortable with. To win in India, where we came from, was absolutely amazing,” he said.
“The team, not only led by Patty but coach Andrew McDonald himself, everything is just so calm and relaxed within the team.

“We go out there, we’re adults, we back ourselves to train as best we can and then go out there and perform. There’s never any extra pressure, it’s the same: come in and do what you need to get done. We love winning.
“When we lost two games in a row in India, the bond with each other only grew stronger and it is not by chance or coincidence that we got to where we were.
“Maxi’s heroics, captaincy and the skill and execution of the way we played against India were phenomenal, and not to be ignored in the Calcutta semi-final.”
“I know the Champions Trophy is coming… if in two years I am playing decent cricket and if they need someone, I will be available,” he added.
