Warner Era Ends: No Comeback for Champions Trophy
16 July at 3:49 pm
Australian cricket fans will not see David Warner play in the Champions Trophy 2025. National selector George Bailey confirmed today that Warner will not be part of the squad. Warner retired from international cricket after Australia were knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2024. He had hinted that he might return for the Champions Trophy, but Bailey's statement put an end to those hopes. The decision brought an end to Warner's long and successful international career. He played 383 matches across formats for Australia, scoring 18,995 runs. During his stint with the national team, he won two ODI World Cups, one T20 World title and one World Test Championship title. Warner was an important player for Australia over the past ten years. While his absence will be felt, it gives a chance for new players to shine in the Australian team.
