Australian cricket veteran David Warner has announced his retirement from One Day International (ODI) cricket in the lead up to his final test match.
The 37-year-old previously announced his retirement from test cricket ahead of an ongoing series with Pakistan.
On Monday, Warner said his decision to also retire from ODI cricket was one he was “very, very comfortable with”.
He played a pivotal role in helping Australia win the Cricket World Cup against India last year.
Warner, who was the tournament’s leading run scorer, said he felt the time was right after an “absolutely amazing” World Cup win.
He also said retiring would create opportunities for new players and allow him greater freedom to play franchise cricket overseas – Warner has been a part of the Indian Premier League for the last 14 years, where he has a massive fan following.
But he did not rule out playing in the 2025 Champions Trophy if called upon.
Warner will play his 112th and final test in his home city of Sydney on Wednesday.
