Former Australian cricketer-turned-commentator David Warner’s eldest daughter, Ivy, took the mic to interview cricketing legends ahead of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy during the Great Fox Kayo launch on November 18. Ivy Mae, who was born to David and his wife, Candice Warner, in September 2014, made her debut as a host.
On Tuesday, November 19, Warner shared on Instagram photos of Ivy interviewing cricket icons such as Ravi Shastri, Allan Border, Brett Lee, Michael Vaughan, and Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle. The 38-year-old captioned the post:
“Ivy is back at it again, interviewing some legends of the game and broadcasters. The summer of cricket is here.”

Earlier this year, Australian opener David Warner announced his retirement from international cricket following the 2024 T20 World Cup. Over the course of his T20I career, the left-hander scored 3,277 runs in 110 matches, including 28 fifties and one century.
Warner also retired from Test cricket in January 2024 after playing 112 matches, accumulating 8,786 runs, with 37 fifties and 26 centuries.
His final ODI appearance was exactly one year ago, on November 19, 2023, when Australia defeated India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad. In 161 ODIs, Warner scored 6,932 runs, which included 33 fifties and 22 centuries.
“He’s set to score plenty of runs”- David Warner on Virat Kohli before the 2024-25 BGT
David Warner has warned Australia, predicting Virat Kohli will be in peak form for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Although Kohli’s recent stats may not be his best, Warner believes the Indian batter performs exceptionally well against Australia, and the series will bring out his best.
In his column for The Herald Sun, the former opener wrote:
“I’m worried about Virat Kohli … but not for the reasons everyone else is. People want to write Virat off after India’s disastrous 3-0 Test series loss to New Zealand this month, but I’m actually worried for Australia.”
“This is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and we know Virat always steps up in Australia and completely embraces that challenge like almost no one else who has ever visited our shores. I’m genuinely worried for the Australian cricket team that he’s going to come out and pile on some runs,” he added.
The 36-year-old has an impressive Test record against Australia, scoring 2,042 runs in 25 matches, with five fifties and eight centuries.
