This is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and we know Virat always steps up in Australia and takes on that challenge completely like almost no one else has. I am really worried for the Australian cricket team that he (Kohli) is going to come out and score some runs.

“Cricket Australia did it quickly…” David Warner said about the ball tampering allegations against India A.
Umpires or match referees should stand here and answer questions – David Warner David Warner (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first unofficial Test match played between Australia-A and India-A in Mackay, India had to face the defeat by 7 wickets. During the match, India A was accused of ball tampering. According to officials, Indian players had tampered with the ball and changed its shape to create pressure against Australia. Cricket Australia then confirmed that they had no evidence that the ball had been tampered with. Meanwhile, former legendary player David Warner praised the Australia Cricket Board. The board resolved the issue as quickly as possible, he said. Umpires or match referees should stand here and answer questions – David Warner David Warner said that if the umpires feel something has happened then follow-up should be done. He also stressed that umpires and match referees should answer all the questions. Warner, while speaking to reporters after becoming the captain of Sydney Thunder, said, I think the final decision lies with CA, right? They resolved this matter as quickly as possible because India is coming here in this summer season. But if the umpires feel that something has happened, I am sure it will be followed up. Umpires or match referees should stand here and answer questions. I think the match referee should come out and talk to his staff, who are the umpires, and if they are adamant on decisions, you have to stand up to it. This is clearly a statement that Cricket Australia needs to issue. Let us tell you, Indian players were not happy with the decision to change the ball. A spokesperson told the Sydney Morning Herald that the ball was replaced in the fourth innings of the match due to damage. The captains and managers of both teams were informed of the decision before the start of the game and no further action is being taken.

Former player praised New Zealand team fiercely David Warner further said, ‘In the first Test match played in Bengaluru, New Zealand took excellent catches and put their team in a strong position.

Will David Warner return from retirement? Wife Candice gave a big reaction
David Warner has expressed his desire to join the team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. 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.
