Opener of the Australia Cricket Team, David Warner, has dropped his retirement bombshell from test cricket only four days before the start of the much-awaited finals of the 2023 World Test Championship against the India Cricket Team at the Oval. On Saturday, Warner did reveal that he had decided to put an end to his long and prestigious test career. He is planning to say goodbye to the longest format of cricket at the end of the upcoming Australian summer.

Currently, David Warner is in London rigging up for the finals of the world test championship against the India Cricket Team, which are going to get started on June 7, before he shifts his attention to the Ashes series against the England Cricket Team. While talking to the reporters in Beckenham, he disclosed that now he wants to bid farewell to his Test career after the Test match of the Australia Cricket Team against Pakistan Cricket Team in January at his home ground in Sydney. Therefore, he is ruling himself out of the two-match test series against the West Indies Cricket Team. He also cleared up the doubts about white ball cricket, saying that he wants to continue playing white ball cricket for the Australia cricket team until the T20 World Cup of 2024, which is going to be held in the West Indies and USA.

On Saturday, Warner said that I have got to score runs, and I have always said that the T20 World Cup of 2024 is going to be my last world cup. Without any doubt, I owe this not only to me but also to my family, and if, with God's grace, I am able to score runs here and continue to perform well back in Australia, and then I am very sure that I will not be going to play that West Indies series.

He also said that if I can get through the WTC Finals and Ashes series and make it to the Pakistan Series, then I’ll end up there.

While saying all this, Warner also disclosed the fact that there is no certainty about his spot in the playing 11 for the six-match Test tour of England. Therefore, it is very important for him to be in good form consistently and tries to do better than how he had performed previously during his tour of England during the 2019 Ashes. He had averaged only once back then, as he was agitated by a delivery from England bowler Stuart Broad. He is hoping for his IPL 2023 form to get transformed into red-ball cric
