The cricket world was taken aback when Australia’s head coach, former all-rounder Andrew McDonald, said that David Warner was the nation’s most accomplished all-around player. Furthermore, he noted that in the purest form of the game, Test cricket, there was no way to find a suitable substitute for him. Notably, the announcement was made just before Warner’s last Test match, which is scheduled for January 3, 2024, against Pakistan in Sydney.
He is quite likely the best three-format player we have ever had. It will be a loss to have him. Although he has been the target of many for a while, we have continued to choose him because we have an internal sense of his enormous worth and contributions.
In the opening Test match, he paid that faith forward,” McDonald remarked.
“Replacing someone who is striking at 70, averaging 45, and has made the most runs as an Australian opener ever can be difficult,” he went on.
