David Warner is not going to play for Australia in the ICC Trophy

Australia's chief selector, George Bailey, acknowledges David Warner's incredible career but believes it is time for the current Australian team to undergo a transition. Warner recently played his final international match at the T20 World Cup 2024 and left the door open for a potential comeback in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan. However, Bailey confirmed that Warner will not be part of Australia's plan for the upcoming event.

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Bailey praised Warner's achievements but emphasised the team's need for renewal. He expressed admiration for Warner's contributions to Australian cricket across all formats and acknowledged the potential for his legacy to continue growing. Bailey also mentioned that Warner's absence from the team will pave the way for exciting new players to emerge.

Australia has announced squads for upcoming matches against Scotland and England, with Mitchell Marsh leading the team in the absence of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Glenn Maxwell. The selectors are focused on building a team for the future, signalling a period of transition for Australian cricket.
