Ponting Backs Warner To Be In Australia’s Playing Eleven For Start Of Test Summer Against Pakistan
Boxing Day Test: Legendary Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting has backed David Warner to be in the playing eleven to kickstart the home summer through the first Test against Pakistan starting on December 14 in Perth.
Warner had earlier expressed his wish to retire from Tests after third game of the series against Pakistan at the SCG in front of friends and family in January 2024. But form hasn’t been on his side in Tests, with his best score since January 2020 being a 200 against South Africa at Melbourne in the 2022 Boxing Day Test.
“Yeah look, I think he deserves to be there at the start of the summer, but then it's up to him. I've read some reports this week about, the farewell tour and having three Tests in the summer and finishing in Sydney in front of his home crowd.”
