“The man next to me (Pat Cummins) is the key; he’s the Test captain. I’m sure he gets the first opportunity. Any opportunity you get asked, captain, it’s a privilege. For my circumstances, that’s in Cricket Australia’s hands.”
Said Warner, as reported by Sydney Morning Herald
David Warner: “My Phone’s Here”: David Warner
“My phone’s here [if CA wants to call for a talk about leadership]. What’s done is done in the past. The good thing is there is a new board that has come along. I’m always happy to sit down, chat, and talk about anything they need to talk about. I’m just happy, enjoying my cricket and putting my best foot forward for the team.”
Warner said
According to Cummins, Warner is a “great leader.” Who also claimed that a fast bowler is not “practical” to serve as a captain in all three formats.
“If you were going to do all the formats and every game, I don’t think that’s realistic. Especially as a fast bowler, I think you need to find windows to rest. I think you could manage that as well. It’s not our decision to make, but Davey is always a fantastic leader around the team. He makes my job as a captain very easy. I don’t know the first thing about batting, so having guys like Davey there to look after that is great.”
Cummins said
David Warner: David Warner’s Leadership Ban
After being determined to have played the primary role in the 2018 incident, Cricket Australia suspended the 35-year-old from the elite game for a year and leadership posts permanently. Aaron Finch resigned as Australia’s one-day international captain due to a slump in form. It is also not certain to return as the team’s Twenty20 captain during the 2019 World Cup. Several former Australia players and Test captain Pat Cummins, the front-runner to lead the ODI team, have lobbied the media for Warner’s suspension to be lifted.
Warner emphasized that it was far from guaranteed that Finch would also abandon the international game’s shortest format. Find the Cricket Predictions and updates for the upcoming matches around the globe.
