IND vs AUS LIVE: ‘Invigorated and Invested’ David Warner plans Indian uprising to finally shine in India Tests, Opener takes rest from Practice Today, Check OUT
The 36 years-old Warner, spoke of exhaustion before leaving local shores, having had a demanding home summer of international cricket and a lucrative return to the Big Bash League.
The left-handed opener has been given time off early on the tour but has been dissecting how best he can rectify a poor record in India. He has averaged only 24.25 in eight Tests, without a century and his top score is 71.
Australia coach Andrew McDonald said,“ He has had a couple of days off … he has been there (at training) for one of the two days, and he is not there today.” He added, “I haven’t noticed any fatigue in David Warner since I got here.”

Andrew McDonald has backed a “fully recharged” David Warner to play a key role in the Test series against India. He said, “But the way that he’s applying himself in his downtime to really landing on a method to take on the Indian spinners, also the quicks, and to have a successful tour … I think you’ll see him fully invigorated, fully invested and fully recharged for the challenge ahead.”
David Warner has plundered 25 Test centuries and averages 46.20 in the longest form of the game. He has also smashed a brilliant double-hundred in the Boxing Day Test against South Africa. Notably, the 36-year-old has struggled in India, averaging just 24.25 with the highest score of 71 across 16 innings.
While Warner is a lock at the top of the order, mystery still surrounds the make-up of Australia’s line-up for the first Test.
