David Warner’s Career: Over Yet Not Over

David Warner has declared his international career a “closed chapter” but at the same time, the Australian batting great won’t mind padding up again.

Australia’s opener David Warner played his last Test match in January. He expressed his desire to come out of retirement and return to red ball cricket before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Warner is ready to enter the field for the needs of the country.

David Warner said that he is willing to break his retirement and return to the field due to the needs of the country. If necessary, the former opener will play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. Not only by word of mouth, but also by playing in the Sheffield Shield to keep himself ready, he said.

Warner retired from Test cricket in January this year. He said to reconsider that decision after 9 and a half months. Warner expressed his desire to play Tests against India.

In a recent interview, Warner said, I will always be available. Just waiting for a phone call. I’m always ready. Our team last played red ball cricket in February. So my situation is same as others. If they think they need me for the series against India, I will happily play the Sheffield Shield match. Warner also said, “My decision to retire from Test cricket was the right one.” Because I really wanted to finish. But I am ready to go back to the field if necessary. I’m not a runaway boy.

After Warner’s retirement, Australia decided to open the Test with Steve Smith. But the former captain of Australia did not succeed in starting the innings. He scored 171 runs at an average of 28.50 in eight innings. Cameron Greene was playing in his number four spot. He was ruled out of the Test series against India due to injury. Smith also wants to return to his number four. Captain Pat Cummins, coach Andrew McDonald and the selectors have also assured Smith of returning the number four spot.

In this situation, Australia will have to decide the new opening pair in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Perhaps taking that opportunity, Warner made his claim. Note that Warner last played for the country in the last Twenty20 World Cup.

six years after ball-tampering scandal,
David Warner’s lifetime captaincy and leadership ban has been lifted by Cricket Australia, a move which could see the retired test player captain the Sydney Thunder in the Twenty20 Big Bash league this season.
Warner received the penalty for his role in the 2018 sandpaper scandal in South Africa, on top of a one-year ban from cricket
which was also imposed on Steve Smith with a lesser playing suspension given to Cameron Bancroft, who was caught on film rubbing and scuffing the ball with yellow sandpaper at a test match in Cape Town.

But the leadership sanction was lifted Friday by an independent three-member review panel who deemed the opener had met the necessary criteria

The move could also be considered an early birthday present from Cricket Australia — Warner turns 38 on Sunday.
