David Warner was born on 27 October 1986 in Paddington, a suburb of eastern Sydney.[6] At the age of 13, he was asked by his coach to switch to right-handed batting because he kept hitting the ball in the air.
However, his mother, Lorraine Warner (nee Orange), encouraged him to return to batting left-handed and he broke the under-16’s run-scoring record for the Sydney Coastal Cricket Club.[7] He then made his first-grade debut for the Eastern Suburbs club at the age of 15[7] and later toured Sri Lanka with the Australian under-19s and earned a rookie contract with the state team.
Warner attended Matraville Public School and Randwick Boys High School.[9]In his two Test matches against India, Warner struggled, scoring 26 runs in three innings before suffering a concussion that forced him out of the second match in Delhi.
Warner has recovered from his injury and will return to India for the one-day series,” Australia’s head coach Andrew McDonald stated here.
According to McDonald, Warner is even in the running to compete against Rohit Sharma’s team in the June World Test Championship final in London.
McDonald said of Warner, who has scored 8158 runs from 103 Test matches at an average of 45.57, “At the moment Dave’s fully in our plans for the World Test Championship.”
The 36-year-old has also scored 6007 runs from 141 one-day internationals, averaging 45.16 runs per game.
Australia’s in-form opener :
McDonald also said that Usman Khawaja, Australia’s in-form opener who scored 180 in the first innings of the drawn fourth Test here, has been cleared of structural damage to his lower leg from fielding on Sunday’s penultimate day.
We will arrive in England with ample time to prepare there before we leave. We have almost everything in place for that; we will be well-prepared.
Only quick Josh Hazlewood (Achilles soreness) and all-rounder Cameron Green have been signed to play in the IPL, which begins on March 31, out of the front-line bowlers Australia is likely to use in England for the WTC final and the Ashes.
Warner, who will also spend the upcoming months playing white-ball cricket in India, is the other possible member of Australia’s UK tour party.
So there will be a few compromises inside that.” McDonald acknowledged that Australia’s batting collapse in the second Test in Delhi when they lost eight wickets for 28 runs in an hour, was the turning point in their pursuit of a historic series victory.
Despite our admiration for the team’s accomplishments, we were unable to reach our full potential here.
We set that goal at three series in the subcontinent, and we’ve won three, lost three, and drawn three. We finished on top of the table with that on the calendar is pretty impressive, and we are also the world’s number one. That was a pretty tough WTC cycle.
