— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns)Warner's retirement from ODIs comes with a noteworthy condition. Despite stepping away from one-day international cricket, the left-handed opener mentioned that he might contemplate making himself eligible for selection in the ICC Champions Trophy if his performance continues to be exceptional in the coming years.
Though David Warner is bidding farewell to Test and ODI cricket, his plate will remain full as he steps into his TV commentary career later this year.
The seasoned opening batsman is set to conclude his extensive career in Australian Test and One Day International cricket after the ongoing New Year Test at the SCG.
Subsequently, he has inked a deal with Fox Sports as part of their colossal $1.512 billion agreement with Cricket Australia, ensuring the broadcast of Australian cricket until 2031. In this venture, Warner will join a distinguished lineup of commentators including Adam Gilchrist, Isa Guha, Mike Hussey, Allan Border, Mark Waugh, Kerry O’Keeffe, Brett Lee, Brendon Julian, Mel Jones, Mark Howard, and Kath Loughnan.
