Warner, along with Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft, received significant sanctions from Cricket Australia in the 2018 scandal.
Reflecting on the fallout from the infamous Cape Town incident, Warner admitted that the ball tampering scandal was having an impact on his career. "Coming back since 2018 I've probably been the only person who has faced a lot of criticism. Be it people who don't like the Australian cricket team or don't like me, I've always been that person I am the one who has faced this,” Cricket.com.au quoted Warner as saying.,
However, the opening batsman is determined to help Australia achieve the historic feat of lifting all three major men's ICC trophies as he looks to wrap up his international career.
Warner, one of the few players to have been a part of Australia's triumphs in the 2023 World Test Championship and 2023 ODI World Cup, is now five games away from potentially adding the T20 World Cup trophy to his list of accolades.
If successful, Warner would cement his legacy by completing a series of ICC trophies like no other cricketer has done before.
As Warner prepares for his final international tournament, he finds a poetic symmetry in concluding his career in the T20 format, the same format where he made his debut against South Africa at the MCG 15 years ago.
"I think it will be special, definitely," Warner said ahead of those tough matches, where Australia will have to play five matches in 10 days if they reach the T20 World Cup final in Barbados on June 29.“As a team you strive for as much success as possible and to do that would be a huge achievement. It's not just about me, it's about the systems we've set up, the way the coaches and The selectors have prepared the entire structure." thing.
“It's been an 18-24 month process and they've done a fantastic job, keeping guys on the park, but two, keeping that core group together and I think it'll be fantastic for all of us."
