Cricket News: David Warner has voiced his fervent desire to win in India and claim a series victory on English soil following his historic double century in the just completed Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) against South Africa.
There were questions about his position in the Test team following a spate of underwhelming performances in the longest version of the game.
The southpaw, though, responded to all of his detractors with a careful double century in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground against South Africa. He played outstanding cricket, as he always does.
The 36-year-old then turned his attention to the impending India tour. Warner is thought to be in a “good place” today for the first time in a long time after all the controversy surrounding the leadership ban that recently rattled him.
The cricketer also disclosed that he is more motivated than usual for the upcoming tours of England and India. Warner added that he spoke with the team’s management and selectors and received their assurances that he will be included in the squad.
I do not feel 36. I’ve already mentioned that I’m moving more quickly than many of the kids here, so when they catch up to me, I might consider pulling the plug. Winning in India and sweeping a series in England provide me with added drive. The selectors and the coach have both indicated that they would prefer for me to attend. Naturally, I had a lot going on in my head prior to this series, he admitted to writer Bharat Sundaresan.
Warner opens up on upcoming India tour
India will likely construct a turning track for the forthcoming four-match Test series, according to Warner. The southpaw further emphasised that Australia also has a top-tier spinner in Nathan Lyon and that the Pat Cummins-led team is prepared for any challenge. Warner noted that the club has the ability to play two spinners if necessary while discussing the same.
“They’re going to be turning wickets, so we know what to prepare for. The locations are different; Nagpur and Delhi are relatively dry, followed by Dharamsala at that time of year, where we played and perhaps ought to have won the Test that we lost ourselves.”
“There will be occasions when it will be difficult there, but what matters is how our batters can develop and bat large as we did in Pakistan. We’re going to do a terrific job with the ball, I believe. Nathan Lyon is a world-class spinner, and we may need to consider playing two spinners,” Warner continued.
