Australian former iconic leftie opener David Warner has made himself available for selection for ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
David Warner retired from ODI Cricket after ICC World Cup 2023 being crowned champions & from all forms of Cricket after Australia’s exit from ICC T20 WC 2024.
Despite his all format retirement, Warner has confirmed that if Cricket Australia selects him for the ICC Champions Trophy next year he will be available. His experience and skills on the sub-continent conditions can be extremely useful for the Aussies.
Warner wrote a caption in an Instagram post , ” Chapter closed!! It’s been an unbelievable experience to play at the highest level for such a long period. Australia was my team. The majority of my career was at the international level. It’s been an honour to be able to do this. 100+ games in all formats is my highlight. I want to say thanks to everyone out there who has made this possible. My wife and my girls, who sacrificed so much, thank you for all your support. No person will ever know what we’ve been through. For all the cricket fans out there, I truly hope I have entertained you and changed cricket, especially tests, in a way where we scored a bit faster than others. We cannot do what we love without the fans, so thanks.I will continue to play franchise cricket for a while, and I am also open to playing for Aus in the Champions trophy if selected. To the players and staff, thanks for putting up with me. No more what’s app junk, your ears are now going to be free of my voice. This team has had unbelievable success the Last few years and long may this continue. Pat Cummins, Andrew old Mac, and staff have got this.”
The inclusion of the experienced David Warner in Champions Trophy squad will boost the strength of mighty Australians and might play a huge role in their chase for 3rd Champions Trophy title.
