David Warner discusses the last knock of his Test career against Pakistan 

While talking about his final knock in test cricket for Australia, Warner, in the post-ceremony, said, “We are in the entertainment business, I am just happy to come out here and showcase what I try to do all the time. I started with the Twenty20 and tried to come out here and emulate that. I tried to play my shots, go out the way that I had to play and managed to get a win on the board which is great.”

On not playing the West Indies series, which begins next week, Warner said, “I’m not playing knowing that I was able to come out here and do what I could do. As I mentioned, you got a great bunch of cricketers here. We are all almost over 30 years of age, as time goes by, we are not getting younger, but this team, they’re energetic, they’re world-class and a great bunch of boys.”

Lastly when Warner was asked How would he like to be remembered? Warner said, “Exciting, entertaining and I hope I put a smile on everyone’s face with the way I played. Hopefully, the young kids out there can follow in my footsteps, white ball cricket to Test cricket, it’s the pinnacle of our sport. So keep working hard and play the red ball game which is entertaining as well. Thanks, everyone.”
