Sydney: David Warner, one of Australia’s greatest ever openers, has announced his retirement from ODI cricket. After deciding to retire from Test cricket, the 37-year-old Aussie player decided to retire from ODIs. But he said that he would be ready to play if his services are required in the upcoming Champions Trophy.
It was announced earlier that he will retire from Tests after the Test series against Pakistan. The final match of the series starts in Sydney on Wednesday. It was during this time that the shocking decision was taken to end the ODI as well.
The explanation is that the actor decided to retire to spend time with his family. David Warner has played 161 ODIs and has scored 6932 runs including 22 centuries at an average of 45.30. Warner is the sixth highest run-scorer in ODI cricket. He is second in the number of centuries in the country. Warner is ahead of Ricky Ponting with 29 centuries. Was a part of both World Cup titles in 2015 and 2023.
Warner scored 535 runs at an average of 48.63 from 11 matches in the 2023 World Cup for Australia. In 2015, he scored 345 runs from eight innings at an average of 49.28 and was the second highest run-scorer by an Australian in that World Cup. If he does not play in the Champions Trophy, the final match against India in the 2023 World Cup will be the last ODI of David Warner’s career.
Meanwhile, Warner scored 8695 runs at an average of 44.58 from 111 Tests and scored 26 centuries. Warner is the fifth highest run-scorer in Test cricket.
