David Warner shares his future plans of becoming a coach

The legendary batsman David Warner has stated that he hopes to become a coach in the future and has predicted that, since players from different countries share dressing rooms in domestic tournaments such as the IPL, sledging would disappear from the game within the next ten years.

In his farewell Test match at the SCG on Saturday, 37-year-old Warner contributed to Australia's 3-0 series victory against Pakistan. Although he will still be eligible for T20Is and T20 leagues worldwide, he has already declared his retirement from ODIs.

Yes, Warner told "Fox Cricket," "I have aspirations to become a coach in the future."


I'll have to talk to the wife first to find out if I can take a few extra days off.

Usman Khawaja, the opener for Australia, stated earlier this week that throughout the early part of Warner's Test career, the coaching staff gave him instructions to sledge opponents, and that the Newlands sandpaper controversy contributed to a change in the team's ethos.

"When I first joined the squad, I approached the game by getting in people's faces, upsetting them, and throwing them off balance when they were hitting. I was shaped to be that individual."

According to the 'Fox Cricket' article, he claimed that the practice of sledging will soon be extinct because of T20 franchise leagues like the Indian Premier League, where players share locker rooms with their rivals.

"I don't think you'll witness sledging or something similar in the future. I anticipate some lighthearted banter, similar to what Shaheen Shah Afridi and I had during the Test match against Pakistan.

Warner amassed 8786 runs at an average of 44.59 during his Test career, with 26 hundreds and 37 fifties. In Test history, he ranks as Australia's fifth-highest run scorer.

With 18612 runs across forms, he is also Australia's second most prolific batter in international cricket, behind only the great Ricky Ponting (27368 runs).
