Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting fears struggling David Warner runs the risk of missing out on the Ashes series and his Test career might end on a tragic note following his prolonged dry run with the bat. Ponting feels Warner would struggle to find a place in the touring Ashes squad and his Test career might just not end on his own terms. Warner had a torrid tour of India, where he scored 1, 10 and 15 in three innings before returning home with a fractured elbow. The left-hander has struggled in the last England tour in 2019, averaging just 9.5. "I've heard him talk before about their cycle. This current cycle will finish after the World Test Championship, which is obviously the week before the first Ashes Test and I would think all going well that they want to get David through until the end of that Test match at least," Ponting was quoted as saying by RSN Cricket.
