David Warner announces immediate ODI retirement

"I’m feeling great," Warner said on Monday.

"It’s a great decision I think I’ve made. I’ve got to give back to the family and also on the back of that, I think I’m definitely retiring from [ODI] cricket as well.

"That was something I had said [throughout] the World Cup – getting through that and winning that in India is a massive achievement.

"I make that decision as well today to retire from those forms, which does allow me to play in some other leagues around the world and sort of get the one day team moving forward a little bit.

"I know there’s a Champions Trophy coming up [in 2025], and if I’m playing decent cricket still in two years’ time and they need someone, I’m going to be available."

Warner is still set to play in the 2024 T20 World Cup, as well as overseas in the Indian Premier League and domestically in the Big Bash League
