Cricket News: When he asserted that David Warner shouldn’t be given the Australian captaincy due to his age, former Australian captain Michael Clarke made a big claim. After the ball-tampering controversy in 2018, Warner was permanently barred from positions of leadership in Australia. Warner’s ban is currently being reviewed by the CA board after Aaron Finch retired from ODIs.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad team’s first championship was won by the 36-year-old in 2016. In addition, several analysts were pleased by Warner’s leadership abilities on the field. In the most recent ODIs against England, Australia chose Pat Cummins as captain. He will likely serve in the same capacity for the 2023 World Cup in India. However, given Warner’s workload and the likelihood of a divided captaincy, it is still a possibility.
If you’re arguing against Davey being captain, it’s probably for commercial gain: Steven Clarke
Warner’s tactical prowess was praised by Clarke, who also emphasised his leadership prowess in the IPL. He did, however, believe that picking a national captain who is already 36 would not be the best choice. He added that the sole basis for assigning Warner the captaincy would be “commercial considerations”. He came to the conclusion that the narrative around Warner’s leadership shouldn’t continue and said that serving as BBL captain might not be a wise choice either.
“Davey is a master at strategy. I’ve seen him play in the IPL, and he was fantastic – one of the finest – but at 36, I’d be shocked if they went that route,” Daily Mail cited a statement from Warner.
“I believe they have made their feelings rather obvious. If Davey is your top choice for captain, it’s probably for marketing purposes. The Big Bash League, in my opinion, is not the proper venue for Davey to serve as captain. I am aware that he hasn’t been actively campaigning, but he hasn’t stopped either. This story should, in my opinion, go away,” he added.
