David Warner revealed his desire to end his Test career with a swansong Test at the SCG against Pakistan in January 2024.
Star Australian opener David Warner on Saturday revealed his desire to end his red-ball career with a swansong Test at his home ground at the SCG against Pakistan in January.
Talking ahead of Australia's training session here, Warner, who is preparing for next week's World Test Championship (WTC) final against India, said he hopes the Sydney Test against Pakistan would be his last.
However, given his recent struggle in the longest format of the game, the southpaw isn't guaranteed a spot in the Australian Test side.
"You've got to score runs. I've always said the (2024) T20 World Cup would probably be my final game," Warner said.
"I probably owe it to myself and my family - if I can score runs here and continue to play back in Australia - I can definitely say I won't be playing that West Indies series.
"If I can get through this (WTC final and ensuing Ashes campaign) and make the Pakistan series I will definitely finish up then," he added.
After the WTC final, Australia are scheduled to play a five-match Ashes series against England.
