David Warner’s international retirement confirmed after T20 World Cup 2024 exit

Veteran Australian batter David Warner’s 15-year international career drew to a close following the Men in Yellow’s exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup. The Indian team defeated Australia, which saw the side depend on the result between Afghanistan and Bangladesh to determine whether they would qualify for the knockout stages.

However, as Afghanistan won the game and qualified, it meant elimination from the tournament for the Aussies and the end of David Warner’s international retirement. Calling it quits gradually, Warner played his final ODI in the World Cup final victory over India and his last Test against Pakistan in January 2024.

His final T20I appearance came against India, where he only managed to score six runs in just as many deliveries. After his dismissal, Warner punched his bat in frustration, unbeknownst that this could be his final game. There was no guard of honour or standing ovation.

We’ll definitely miss him around the group: Josh Hazlewood

After the game against India, star Aussie pacer Josh Hazlewood was asked about his thoughts on the matter. He stated that the side is waiting for the game between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, and then they could celebrate Warner’s legendary career. As Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh to qualify, it meant the end of Warner’s career.

“Nothing’s been said yet. It might be said after this [press conference] before the [evening] game, but I think we’ll wait until after the game, and then we’ll [acknowledge] the career that’s been. It’s been unbelievable. We’ll definitely miss him around the group, out in the field and off-field – an amazing all-format career,” Josh Hazlewood was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

“We’ve had a little taste of it. It’s sort of been a slow burn with Test cricket and ODI cricket, and now T20. Life without him, we’ve sort of gotten used to it a little bit in New Zealand. It’s always different when you lose a player that’s been there for so long. But we’ll move on and push forward,” he added.
