Warner announces second retirement in build-up to farewell Test

David Warner has announced his retirement from one-day cricket just two days out from his final Test, against Pakistan at the SCG beginning on Wednesday.

The dynamic opener’s departure from the 50-over format comes after the 37-year-old was Australia’s leading run-scorer during their ODI World Cup final victory in November.

“I’m definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well,” Warner said as his teammates trained at the SCG on Monday.

“That was something that I had said through the World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that’s a massive achievement.

“So I’ll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other [Twenty20] leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit.”
