Australia’s left-handed batsman David Warner has also announced his retirement from ODI cricket ahead of his final Test match against Pakistan in Sydney.
According to the French news agency AFP, David Warner announced his retirement during a press conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday.
He said, “I have to give time to my family now and that’s why I am also retiring from ODI cricket.”
Warner has termed the World Cup win in India last year as the biggest achievement of his career.
“So today I will decide to retire from these farms so that I can play some more (T20) leagues around the world,” the Australian opening batsman said.
However, the 37-year-old batsman said, “I know the Champions Trophy is coming. If I play good cricket in these two years and if they need me, I will be available.
Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017 but Pakistan will host it in 2025. According to reports, the format of this tournament will be T20 which is traditionally 50 overs.
Keep in mind that David Warner will play his last and 112th Test against Pakistan this week. He has scored 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58 with the help of 26 centuries. While in ODI cricket, he scored 6,932 runs at an average of 45.30 in 161 matches.
