Warner announced retirement from ODI and Test
On January 1, 2024 David Warner announced his retirement and during his announcement, he said, “I’ve got to give back to the family.”
“The ODI retirement during the World Cup, and getting through that, especially winning it in India, is a significant accomplishment.”
“So, I’ll make that decision today, to retire from those forms which does allow me to go and play some other (Twenty20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit.
“I know there’s a Champions Trophy coming up and if I’m playing decent cricket still in two years’ time and they need someone, I’m going to be available.”
“Today, I am also making the decision to retire from those formats. This choice allows me to participate in various leagues around the world and contribute to the progress of the one-day team. I am aware of the upcoming Champions Trophy, and if I continue to play well in two years’ time and the team requires my services, I will make myself available.”
Warner announced retirement from ODI and Test and said, “I would have never imagined opening the batting for New South Wales or anyone to be honest when I first started but to be honest when I first started but to be here, 112 Tests I think, I still pinch myself.”
“I believe I owe thanks to Greg Chappell, who demonstrated faith and belief in my talent, abilities, and the way I approach the game,” Warner said.
