Although bidding adieu to Tests and ODIs, Warner disclosed his plan to participate in the T20 World Cup in June, marking his final appearances for Australia in international cricket. He expressed the significance of starting and concluding his illustrious career in Twenty20 cricket, emphasizing his desire to secure another World Cup victory for Australia.
