“I Don't Think You're Going To See A 5-10 Year Career Cricketer Playing All Three Forms” – David Warner

The 36-year-old Australia National Cricket Team opening batsman David Warner, who has scored 7922 Test runs, 6007 ODI runs and 2894 T20I runs, has stated that there will not be a consistent multi-format cricketer like him in the future.

Warner has been one of the most consistent all-format performers for the Australia National Cricket Team. He made his ODI and T20I debut in 2009 while Test debut in 2011. The 36-year-old is a key member of Australia across all three formats, however, recently calls have emerged for his retirement from the longest format of the game.

It was very, very difficult – David Warner reflects on Phillip Hughes’ death

David Warner further reflected on the death of Phillip Hughes and said that it was a difficult period for him. While talking about playing a Test match against India in Adelaide a few days after Hughes’ demise, Warner said that he didn’t put a value on his wicket. Notably, the veteran opener had smashed a century in both innings of that Test against India. David Warner elaborated:

“I didn’t put a value on my wicket. I just went out there and saw the ball and reacted. It was fiery that Test match. I felt like at that stage we didn’t deserve to be out there. It was very, very difficult. I know Hughesy would have wanted us to go back out there. That was the type of person he was. He just cared about everyone else.”
