[Saba Sports News] David Warner announced his retirement from Test cricket after Australia’s series against Pakistan. Following Australia’s 79-run win in the second Test, Warner’s wife posted a heartfelt photo with Warner and their children on Instagram, captioned, “Last photo on the MCG with the family. @davidwarner31, we are proud to have been on this journey with you. @thewarner.sisters.”
In his final MCG Test, Warner scored 38 and 5. He plans to retire after the third Test at Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia’s victory featured key performances, with Mitchell Marsh’s 96 and partnerships with Smith and Carey setting a formidable target for Pakistan.
Pakistan, led by Masood and Babar, fought valiantly, narrowing the target with Rizwan and Salman. Rizwan’s dismissal led to a collapse, and Australia sealed the win with Cummins’ five-wicket haul and Starc’s four wickets.
Post-match, Pakistan’s captain Shan Masood reflected on the need to learn from mistakes and focus on the bigger picture. He praised the team’s positives but acknowledged the costly errors against a team like Australia.
