After leaving Test cricket, David Warner says goodbye to ODIs.

Australian cricket stalwart David Warner declared his retirement from one-day international (ODI) cricket on Monday, marking the end of an illustrious career that also saw him step away from Test cricket. The 37-year-old, renowned for his prowess with the bat, expressed his intention to keep the door ajar for potential participation in the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Warner, set to conclude his remarkable Test career with his 112th and final appearance this week, has amassed a staggering 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58. His Test journey includes an impressive tally of 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries.

During a press conference held at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Warner announced his retirement from ODIs. He highlighted the importance of prioritizing family commitments and mentioned his decision to step away from one-day cricket, expressing gratitude for the World Cup victory in India as a crowning achievement.

"I’ve got to give back to the family, and also on the back of that, I’m retiring from one-day cricket as well," Warner stated. He emphasized that this decision would open up opportunities to participate in various T20 leagues worldwide while also facilitating the progression of the one-day team.

Despite his retirement, Warner left the possibility of donning the national colors open for the 2025 Champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in Pakistan. Reflecting on his availability, he stated, "If I’m playing decent cricket in two years and I´m around and they need someone, I´m going to be available."

While the Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017, plans are underway to reintroduce the tournament in 2025. Initially a 50-over format, reports are suggesting a potential shift towards Twenty20 cricket. Warner concludes his one-day career after featuring in 161 matches and amassing 6,932 runs at an impressive average of 45.30.
