David Warner‘s international cricket career appears to have concluded on a surprisingly low-key note. While an official announcement is still pending, the Australian batsman’s lastest social media post hints at his retirement.
Low-Profile exit for David Warner
David Warner’s international journey ended on Tuesday when Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign came to a disappointing close.
Their losses to India and Afghanistan in the Super 8 stage sealed their fate. While teammate Travis Head had hinted at a post-tournament celebration for Warner, no photos of such festivities have surfaced.

Instead, Warner took to social media to share a photo with young batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk, widely considered his successor. The caption, “All yours now champion,” suggests a passing of the torch. Jake Fraser-McGurk reciprocated with a social media post honoring Warner’s remarkable career.
Surprising silence from Candice Warner
Uncharacteristically, David Warner’s wife Candice Warner has remained silent on social media regarding his final match. Known for her unwavering support, regularly congratulating and defending her husband online, her absence from this milestone is unexpected.
Candice and their daughters did not accompany Warner to the Caribbean for the World Cup.

Despite the subdued ending, David Warner’s cricketing achievements cannot be understated. He retires as Australia’s second-highest run scorer across all formats, behind only Ricky Ponting. As an opener, his dominance is unmatched, holding the record for most runs in Test and T20 cricket for Australia, and ranking second only to Adam Gilchrist in ODIs.
