David Warner has retired from Tests and ODIs. This time confirmed the fate of T20 career. He confirmed yesterday that the third T20 against the West Indies was his last match at home. Say goodbye to the national team by playing the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Warner was man of the match in the 2-1 series win against West Indies. Asked in Perth after the last match, the 37-year-old said: ‘Yes, it’s actually my last at home.’
Although Ajira lost by 37 runs in the last match at home ground, this left-handed opener was devastating with the bat. He played an explosive innings of 81 runs off 49 balls. Still in rhythm, Warner feels it’s time for the newcomers to come in, ‘Now is the time for the youngsters to come in. We have enough talented players. As a result, we are in a good position for the future.’
Warner will then tour New Zealand for a three-match T20I series. He will also play in the T20 World Cup to be held in the United States and the Caribbean in June. If the current form can be taken there, the benefit is for Australia. T20 captain Mitchell Marsh wished him well in the last match at home, ‘The career for Warner has been amazing. The way he played the last innings at home, it suits him. “Unfortunately we couldn’t grab the win for him at the end.”
