David Warner has been given a Test lifeline after the opener was included in Australia’s 17-man squad for the World Test Championship final against India in London and the first two Ashes Tests later this year.

The 36-year-old batter will tour to England for one final time after getting the nod alongside Marcus Harris and Matt Renshaw for the tour to the UK.

Having been ruled out of this year’s tour of India with a fractured elbow, there had been speculation over Warner’s immediate Test future.

But his inclusion in the squad announced on Wednesday gives him a chance to extend his Test career, having previously hinted he will retire from red-ball cricket after the 2023 Ashes series.
