David Warner won’t need to fight for his Test place in Sheffield Shield ranks before the first Test against Pakistan, effectively clearing the way for the opener to play in a farewell series at home this summer.
By being chosen, alongside Steve Smith, for the Twenty20 series against India that follows the ODI World Cup, Warner will be unavailable for all the Shield rounds played prior to the Pakistan Tests.And though the national selectors have been at pains to say they do not pick the Test team based on limited-overs matches, Warner’s prolific scoring at the current tournament has provided the clearest possible sign he is seeing the ball clearly, whatever its colour.
“Time in the middle is time in the middle, they probably can go up and down the gears now a lot better than younger players can when it comes to the different formats. Australia’s leaders have been discussing matters of transition for some time, with Victoria home to several of the key players identified for the future.
“He’s been doing a mountain of work on his issues with a lot of support throughout his last summer where he had time off. And he went and played club cricket in England, and things were tracking really smoothly,” Rogers said.
