David Warner & his Wife (Photo Source: Instagram) Australian veteran player David Warner retired from Test and ODI formats in January this year. He then played his last T20 International against India on 24 June during the T20 World Cup 2024. Announcing his retirement on social media, Warner had said that if the team needs him for the Champions Trophy 2025, he can return to the national team. Australia is going to play a five-match Test series against India under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home from November 22. Warner has expressed his desire to join the team for this also. However, David Warner’s wife has rejected his return to the national team. David Warner’s wife gave this statement Expressing his desire to join the Australian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Warner told News Corp, “I am always available, (Cricket Australia selectors) just have to pick up the phone.” David Warner’s wife Candice Warner denied reports of his return and told Fox Sports’ The Back Page, He is very keen to play for Australia and I think if selector George Bailey or coach Andrew McDonald picked up the phone and said ‘we need you’ he would be ready to go. But that’s definitely not going to happen. I think he wouldn’t have said that if he really didn’t think he was capable of doing it, but that’s no disrespect to any opener or people (for selection). If he has to go down that path to playing again, he has to do it the same way as everyone else playing the Sheffield Shield and everything like that. But this is not happening.

In an exclusive interview with CricTracker, Dawid Malan has expressed his opinion on some things- Question: You have performed brilliantly in the Jim Afro T10 and now the next step for Cape Town Samp Army is to reach the playoffs. Tell us about the league stage of this tournament and how was it for you? A: Yes, it’s been awesome. First of all, this is my first time playing in Zimbabwe and it was great. It has also been fantastic to be part of the Cape Town Samp Army. We were watched very well and played some very good cricket. It is natural for players to fluctuate in performance in the T10 format. But, we have also played some very good matches. After today’s match, if the results go in our favor then we can come second, and we can get two chances. Overall, it has been a very fun and good tournament. Question: What are your thoughts regarding the T10 format? This is the fastest and shortest format, so how was your experience? Answer: Yes, it’s a lot of fun. In this format you can just go out and play bigger shots and experiment more. The best thing is that it has the impact player rule, so I don’t have to field. So, this is my favorite format, where I can just bat and avoid fielding. Question: Jim Afro There are also many young Zimbabwean players in the T10. What do you think about his talent, and what is the conversation with him? Answer: Yes, I am very impressed by his talent. You usually see Zimbabwe’s domestic players only in international matches, but here some young players are getting a chance to play on the big stage. It is great for him that he is sharing the dressing room with the players who played the World Cup finals. I had breakfast with David Willey this morning and discussed bowling. That’s what you want from these tournaments, for players to interact and learn from each other. Question: England’s performance in the last ODI World Cup was not good, but individually you did well. Tell us about that experience. Answer: Yes, personally it was great that I scored runs and contributed to some wins. It’s everyone’s dream to score a century…
