Josh Hazlewood, an Australian new-ball seamer, acknowledged that David Warner will be sorely missed. The opener’s international retirement was confirmed after Afghanistan was granted entrance to the T20 World Cup in the 2024 semifinal. The 33-year-old anticipates a smooth adjustment, though, since Australia has made the switch in Tests and ODIs.
David Warner declared the T20 World Cup 2024 to be his last international assignment, having already withdrawn from Test and ODI cricket. The left-hander crushed 178 runs on Monday in St. Lucia, but in the final two innings, he managed just nine runs before losing for six. Afghanistan has officially eliminated Australia after defeating Bangladesh and securing their semi-final qualification.
David Warner averages 33.44 in International T20s for Australia with a strike rate of 142.48. He has scored 3277 runs in his career playing 110 matches for the Baggies. Australia will miss his hard-hitting prowess on the international stage. David Warner has been a match winner for Australia over the years.
David Warner Will Be Missed
Josh Hazlewood speaking in the post-match press conference
“We’ll definitely miss him around the group, out on the field and off the field. He’s had an amazing all-format career. We’ve had Test cricket and ODI cricket and now T20s. You’ve gotten used to it a bit in New Zealand. It’s always different when you lose a player that’s been there for so long. We’ll move on and push forward.”
Australia will be back in action in September taking on England.
