As per the reports, the opener of the Australian cricket team, David Warner, will miss the upcoming T20I series against India after he was withdrawn from the squad following their ODI World Cup 2023 win. The 37-year-old joined a group of other Aussie players who will miss out on the T20I series ahead of the three-match Test series against Pakistan on December 14. Also, World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc will also be missing out on the forthcoming 20-over format series, along with Aussie all-rounders Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh.
In the ODI World Cup 2023, Warner had a great run with the Australian squad. He scored 535 runs after playing 11 innings with a strike rate of 108.29. All-rounder Aaron Hardie has been added to the T20I squad.
Kane Richardson will replace Spencer Johnson in the T20I series since he has a hamstring injury.
Despite starting just four days after the ODI World Cup final, the series acts as part of the build-up to next year's T20 edition in the West Indies and the USA.
