Veteran opener David Warner has said that he is likely not to play the game’s longer format anymore and that this would be his last 12 months in the whites for Australia.
Warner stressed that he wants to focus on the ODI World Cup in India next year and the T20 World Cup in 2024. Some say that the decision of Warner doesn’t come as a surprise to people. This decision comes after his love to play the shorter formats so that he can prolong his career.
“Test cricket will probably be the first one to fall off. Because that’s how it will pan out. The T20 World Cup is in 2024, (one-day) World Cup next year,” David Warner said on Triple M’s Deadset Legends.
“Potentially, it could be my last 12 months in Test cricket. But I love the white-ball game; it’s amazing.”T20 cricket – I love the game. I will be looking to get to 2024. For all those people saying I am past it and a lot of those old people are past it, look out. Be careful what you wish for,” he added.
