David Warner Leaves International Cricket Following Australia’s Exit from the T20 World Cup

Following Australia’s elimination from the 2024 T20 World Cup, great David Warner announced his retirement from international competition

David Warner, one of the greatest hitters of all time, had a terrible ending to his international career as Australia lost in the Super 8 stage and did not advance to the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals. Australia needed Bangladesh to defeat Afghanistan in Monday’s final Super 8 game in order to advance further in the competition. Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, and other players came up big at key times to help the Aussies eliminate the Bangla Tigers from the tournament, even though they went close.

Warner’s international departure was further confirmed by Australia’s early withdrawal from the competition.

The opening batsman has already declared that he will be playing his final T20 World Cup for Australia in the USA and the West Indies.

Warner ended his international career in phases, playing his final ODI during Australia’s successful 2023 campaign in India, his final Test against Pakistan in early 2024, and his final Test match following the 2024 T20 World Cup. Although he hinted at a possible return for the Champions Trophy next year, it seems unlikely.

He proved his brilliance to the world on his T20I debut against South Africa, scoring an incredible 89 off 43 balls. He amassed 3277 runs in 110 games, including a century in 2019 against Pakistan, becoming him the third Australian to reach 100 in all three game formats. He also amassed 28 half-centuries.

He has had a successful franchise T20 career, particularly in the IPL, away from international cricket. In 2021, he became just the fourth batter in T20 history to reach 10,000 runs.

Australia said, “I put my arm around him.” Recounted by Ricky Ponting on ICC’s Digital Daily program. “I told them, ‘Just take a moment tonight to sit back by yourself and think back on Australia’s incredible career in all three formats.’”

“We are aware that David Warner retired from test cricket in the summer, but it’s difficult to find someone who has had as much of an influence on Australian cricket’s three formats as David Warner.

“Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to coach him in the Indian Premier League and play with him, and I truly enjoy his company.” He ought to be really proud of what he accomplished.

After Australia’s Super 8s loss to India, bowler Josh Hazlewood also mentioned Warner’s departure from international cricket.

Hazelwood had expressed following the team’s defeat to India, “We’ll definitely miss him around the group, out in the field and off field.”

“A phenomenal multiplatform career. With Test and ODI cricket and now T20, it’s been a bit of a slow burn. We’ve therefore been accustomed to life without him, yet losing a player who has been there for so long always makes things different.”
