The cricketing fraternity was already sad about the retirement of the Australian opening batter, David Warner who had announced previously that the ongoing series against Pakistan would be his last in the Test format and would retire from the red-ball format. But he managed to shock the fans once more when he spoke during the press conference ahead of his farewell Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
The batter also confirmed during the press conference that he would also retire from the ODI formats. He expressed his interest in playing in the various franchise cricketing leagues worldwide. However, he also mentioned that if he felt like he was playing well, he would make himself available for the Champions Trophy in 2025.
Reacting to the news regarding Warner’s retirement from the fifty-over format, take a look at some of the fan’s reactions to the news on social media.

Whilst giving a statistical breakdown of Warner’s Test career, this fan gave another perspective which the fans would be missing. The cricketing fraternity will truly miss David Warner’s trademark celebration in whites and the 50-over formats.
After Virat, the only all format player is David Warner.What a star!— Viratian (@kingofcricket05) January 1, 2024
This fan gave Warner a really hefty compliment where they believe that Warner is among the only few genuine all-format players of this era along with Virat Kohli.
David Warner will always be remembered as one of the best players to play for the Australian side. The Bull will be looking to go out with a bang as he will look to score big in the third and final Test in the series against Pakistan which takes place in his home ground at Sydney.
