David Warner

Australian star opener David Warner has been given some time-off before his side resume T20I tri-series campaign against New Zealand on February 16 at the iconic Eden Park, Auckland. Confirming the news, Australia head coach Darren Lehman had said that T20I stand-in captain Warner would head home to Sydney after attending the Allan Border Medal count in Melbourne to freshen up mentally, ahead of the upcoming match. The 31-year-old opener, who is leading the T20 side in the absence of rested regular captain Steve Smith, is the only member of the victorious Ashes side to feature in all three formats of the game this Australian summer.
