Australia's explosive opener David Warner had hinted at his return to cricket a few days ago. Now regarding his statement he said that if the Australian team management asks him to play for the national cricket team, he will consider it.

David Warner, during his commentary debut on Fox Sports during the first ODI between Australia and Pakistan at the MCG, said – 'I had talked about returning to cricket in the context when I got the offer to play for Cricket Australia. You are not going to turn down any match for Australia. Many people understood my statement in their own way. If I get a call to play then why wouldn't I say yes?

David Warner has played 112 test matches for Australia. The former Australian opening batsman had announced his retirement after the Test series against Pakistan in early 2024. Warner was last month freed from the ban imposed by Cricket Australia in the ball tampering case in 2018.

Warner had told the Australian media last week that if they (Australian team management) need someone, he has the upper hand. Australian captain Pat Cummins had talked about closing the doors for Warner.

Cummins said on the podcast The Grade Cricketers- I spoke to Dave a few days ago. I can't remember whether he reached out or I… He said, 'What do you think?', and I said, 'Yes, [सिडनी] Good luck to the Thunder and I look forward to your comments on Fox. I believe it (the offer) is a bit unexpected, but I believe he doesn't mind seeing himself on the last page. We love Davy, but he's retired.

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will face Australia in the five-Test series starting on November 22.

Warner said during commentary on Fox Sports – South Australian captain Nathan McSweeney could be one of the options for the opener. “McSweeney is a talent. They can take up the challenge of opening batting with him. I know he bats at No. 3 for South Australia, but I think there are leadership qualities there too.
