- Warner retires from red-ball cricket after emotional Pakistan Test.
- Shan Masood gifts signed shirt as appreciation.
- PSL 9 participation uncertain, adding intrigue to Warner’s post-red-ball career.
In a heartfelt farewell during the last Test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Australian cricket legend David Warner officially concluded his red-ball career, leaving fans with a memorable moment. The red-ball skipper of Pakistan, Shan Masood, presented Warner with a token of appreciation—a signed shirt from Babar Azam, symbolizing the immense respect for Warner’s legendary career.
As the crowd of more than 22,000 at the Sydney Cricket Ground honored Warner with a final ovation, Shan Masood expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you so much. Shall see you in the PSL.” The gesture was accompanied by the entire squad gifting Warner Babar Azam’s signed shirt, wishing him the best in his future endeavors.
With a career spanning 112 Tests and a remarkable 18,612 runs across formats for Australia, Warner’s fairytale ending in his farewell Test saw him contribute 57 runs in 75 balls. Australia successfully chased down the modest target of 130 runs, securing an eight-wicket victory and completing a whitewash in the series.
While Warner’s red-ball career has come to an end, uncertainty now surrounds his participation in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9. The PSL has been a platform for international cricket stars, and Warner’s potential involvement would undoubtedly add to the excitement for fans. However, as the cricketing world eagerly awaits Warner’s decision, his future in the PSL remains uncertain.
As Warner transitions from red-ball cricket, having bid farewell to one format earlier in the year with his retirement from one-day internationals, cricket enthusiasts are left wondering where the next chapter of his illustrious career will unfold. The uncertainty surrounding his PSL participation adds an intriguing twist to Warner’s post-red-ball career journey.
