David Warner is currently busy preparing for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against India at the Oval, starting from 7-11 June. But, ahead of this clash, Warner has come with a statement that he is hoping for an SCG farewell from Test cricket in January 2024. Australia will play the last of the three-match Test series at SCG from 3-7 January 2024 against Pakistan.

While talking to reporters in Beckenham, Warner said: "I've always said the <2024 T20> World Cup will be my final game, but I think I probably owe it to myself and my family. If I can score runs here, continue to play back in Australia, I can definitely say I won't be playing that West Indies series. If I get through this and I can make the Pakistan series, I will definitely finish up then."

"For me I've always played every game as if it's my last. That's my style of cricket. I enjoy being around the guys, I love being part of the team, trying to be that ball of energy in the group. I want to just keep working as hard as I can to get there," he further added.

"Going back 12 months, looked very daunting. Whether or not you're going to play this Test before this series, given there is a World Cup as well, and we have South Africa as well. And then cricket on the back end of the World Cup in India. Leading into a home summer it's going to be exhausting and I think the boys, rightfully so, the selectors have been speaking to them about the series that we are priding ourselves on. This championship, the Ashes, then the World Cup, the big one,” Warner said.

"I want to play that 2024 World Cup, it's something at the backend of my mind. We've got a lot of cricket before that. And then I think it stops from February. For me, then I have to play the IPL, some of the other franchise leagues and then get into the rhythm to play that, in June. Will be a bit of cricket around to play," David Warner concluded.
