Cricket Australia’s (CA) national chief selector George Bailey has confirmed that David Warner won’t be considered for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Warner, who retired from International cricket with T20 World Cup 2024 being his final dance, kept a door ajar for the Champions Trophy next year.
While he recently reiterated that he would be “open to playing for (Australia) in the Champions Trophy if selected”, the national selector has confirmed he would not be considered for the global ICC tournament.
“Our understanding is that David is retired, and (he) should be commended on what has been an incredible career across all three formats. Certainly, our planning is that he won’t be there in Pakistan,” Bailey said.
