The Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup is about to begin. A player from the Australian team that reached the Super 8 of the tournament has made a big statement. This player is none other than David Warner. David Warner is relieved that he will retire after the T20 World Cup 2024. Let us tell you that Warner had announced even before the World Cup started that he would announce his retirement as soon as the World Cup is over. Warner believes that real cricket fans will see him as a player who tried to change the game with his aggressive batting while he is the only player who had to face criticism.
Warner was banned
Warner retired from Test and ODI formats earlier this year. Now he will say goodbye to international cricket after the World Cup being played in America and West Indies. 37-year-old Warner was banned for a year by Cricket Australia in 2018 for his involvement in the Sandpaper Gate incident, but since returning to the national team, he has achieved a lot of success.
During a statement during the World Cup, Warner said that since 2018, I have probably been the only player who has faced a lot of criticism since my comeback. Things were not easy for me when I came back and I knew it. I have suffered a lot in my career. I have probably been the only player who has faced a lot of criticism, whether it is from people who do not like the Australian cricket team or do not like me.
A brilliant international career
David Warner’s international career has been quite spectacular. He has scored 49 centuries playing for Australia in all formats. He has around 19000 runs in international cricket. He is to play his first match in Super 8 against Bangladesh. Before this match, he said that I have always been a person who has faced it. I always feel that I have reduced a lot of pressure from a lot of people and I think I have been able to withstand it. But one can only withstand so much. I feel great knowing that I am not going to withstand it anymore. Warner, however, admitted that his name will always be associated with the Sandpaper Gate incident at Newlands in Cape Town during the Test match against South Africa.
