In the current T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh on Tuesday, removing the Australians from competition. Australian opener David Warner said goodbye to his 15-year career in cricket.
The announcement confirms David Warner’s quiet retirement from the game, after Australia was eliminated from the Super 8 stage following Afghanistan’s most recent triumph.
The 37-year-old opener scored 3,277 runs at a fearsome strike-rate of 142.47 in 110 T20I innings with appearances. His total score included a century and 28 half-centuries.
His final ODI was in November’s World Cup final victory over India, and his final Test match came in January against Pakistan. He had already declared that the T20 World Cup 2024 would be his last competition.
Pacer Josh Hazlewood had said before Afghanistan’s game against Bangladesh that the time of Warner’s farewell from his teammates would depend on the outcome of the same match.
Warner’s opening partner Travis Head stated that it would be a “disappointing” way for Warner’s career to end before to Australia’s World Cup defeat.
“We’ll be let down if we have to watch another game if it ends like way. “His contributions to Australian cricket at the top of the order in all formats have been widely discussed,” Head remarked.
