The Australian Opener and one of the legendary cricketers of all time, David Warner, retires from international cricket after 15 years, as Afghanistan got a victory after defeating Bangladesh by 10 runs on Tuesday at Arnos Vale Stadium in St Vincent, knocking Australia out of the T20 World Cup.
David Warner started his career in international cricket with his debut in a T20I match in January 2009. He played his last ODI in the World Cup final on November 19, 2023, against India and his last test series against Pakistan in January 2024.
The former Australian cricketer and Australian coach, Ricky Ponting, said that it will be very difficult to find any Australian cricketer who has such a magnificent career in all three formats of cricket.
He is the third Australian cricketer to score a century in all three formats. He retires as the highest Australian scorer with 3277 runs in 110 matches and a strike rate of 142.47. He has also scored 28 half-centuries in international cricket. In test cricket, he had a total score of 8786 runs in 112 matches with 26 centuries and 37 half-centuries. Warner has a record of 6932 runs in 161 ODI matches. Apart from his international cricket career, he became the fourth batter in the IPL to score 10,000 runs in 2021.
The 37-year-old Aussie opener ended his career on Monday with a loss against India in the T20 World Cup.
