David Warner, who retired from international cricket, said he would come out of retirement if the selectors consider him for the 2025 Champions Trophy. The Markut opener is interested in playing the Champions Trophy in the ODI format in Pakistan.
But Cricket Australia’s selectors blocked that road. He made it clear that Australia’s door is closed for Warner.
Warner’s last fifty-over cricket match of the ODI World Cup final in India last November. The match in which Australia won the World Cup by defeating India. Warner announced his retirement from ODI cricket immediately. The T20 World Cup, which ended a few days ago, was his last international appearance. Before that, he played his last Test against Pakistan in Sydney in December last year.
Australia’s chief selector George Bailey said, ‘Our understanding is that David (Warner) has retired. He should be commended for a brilliant career in all three editions. Certainly, our plan is that he will not be in Pakistan (for the Champions Trophy). It will be exciting for the team to look at different players for the journey ahead.’
Warner made his Australian debut in 2009 without playing any first-class or List ‘A’ cricket. His journey began as a specialist T20 batsman. After that, he participated in all three formats. The left-handed opener has played 112 Tests, 161 ODIs and 110 T20Is for Australia. Scored more than 18 thousand. Where there are 49 centuries and 98 half centuries.
