Australian batsman David Warner has hinted that he wants the 2024 T20 World Cup in the United States and West Indies to be an international swan song, saying winning the title will be the icing on the cake.
“[This year] will probably be the last year of my international career. I also have my sights set on the 2024 World Championship (T20), so I hope to finish in America (North America and the Caribbean). And we’d like to close out there with a win until the selection takes place.Warner was quoted by Sky Sports on Thursday.
Warner was named Tournament of the Tournament for his record of 289 runs in Australia’s winning campaign at the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in 2021. He currently plays for the Sydney Thunders in the Big Bash League (BBL). “I signed a contract [with the Thunder] this year and next year, so it’s time to contribute and give back. Now is the time,” Warner added.
The T20 World Championships will be co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States next June.
Last December, Warner said he would be very ambitious for his four Tests in India his border Gavasker his series if included in his tour group.
“Another motivation for me is to win in India and win the series outright in England. My coaches and selectors wanted me there.
“You had no doubts? Of course I had my doubts, but for me, every time I go out there and stand up for training, I know I still have that hunger and that determination. That was it.
Steve Smith, on the other hand, has said he will remain focused on his ODI and testing career, and he doesn’t think much about his T20 future internationally. Former Test his captain, he played only one game during his home campaign at the World Cup in Australia last year. “There aren’t that many internationals in T20, so a big priority for me is testing and a day of cricket to see what happens and then wait and see,” Smith told reporters on Thursday. rice field.
