David Warner politely refused to speculate on who would replace him in Australia as he hung his boots in ODIs. There has been chatter about who would replace the southpaw as an opener in the Tests but the ODIs came out of the box.
Warner refuses to name ODI successor
Warner is currently on the receiving end of criticism already, having name dropped Marcus Harris as his replacement for Tests. That did not go down well with many, especially ex-selector Jamie Cox. The left-handed batter suggested that Australia had enough depth and the right people to fill in his spot in all three formats of the game.
“There is a lot of depth. There are a lot of players there who can fit into any three formats right now,” he said, as per FOX News.
“There’s always change. There’s always retirements. There’s always failures and people having to come in and come out of the team.”
“We are in a good position, I think, in Australian cricket to have the next generation and the current players that have not been selected, to take over. We have the right people there, I feel, to take over in all three spots.”
In 159 ODI innings, Warner has ammassed 6,932 runs averaging 45.30 in career which has spanned over a decade. The Australia made his ODI debut against South Africa in 2009 and has gone on to be a vital part of the side’s white-ball format squad. The southpaw is also a two-time World Cup winner.
