David Warner calls time on career in Tests and ODIs

Veteran Australian opener David Warner on Monday called time on his One-Day International career ahead of his farewell Test against Pakistan this week.

However, the all-format star kept the door open on a return to play the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan if needed.

Warner, 37, will pad up in his 112th and final Test in his home city Sydney on Wednesday, having amassed 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58, with 26 tons and 36 half-centuries.

At the Sydney Cricket Ground, he also announced his retirement from ODIs, where he has been a fixture since his debut in 2009, helping the team win the World Cup in 2015 and 2023.

"I've got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," he said.

"That was something that I had said through the 2023 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 (T20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit.

"I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up," he added. "If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available."
