Warner had a sorry season, scoring just 195 runs in eight innings at a poor average of 24.37 and a strike rate of 107.73, including twin half-centuries. Owing to a rough patch, he was dropped as captain and replaced by Kane Williamson, while he was later also removed from playing XI, besides being asked to stay in the hotel or cheer from stands.
