After this, after the ODI World Cup played in India, David Warner bid farewell to this format. Then after the 2024 T20 World Cup, he/she retired from the shorter format. Warner had expressed his/her desire to play the Champions Trophy a few days ago. But coach Bailey has said that he/she will not be selected for this.

Our plan is that he/she will not be in Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. I think he/she is just joking a little bit. his/her career has been great. It is difficult to celebrate it. What he/she has done for Australia is amazing. We will now try some other players in different formats. It is going to be very exciting.
