Will David Warner be able to play the 2025 Champions Trophy?
While announcing his retirement, Warner had said that he would continue playing franchise cricket. And if he is selected for the Champions Trophy, he is ready to play. But Chief Selector George Bailey has dashed his hopes.
Bailey has made it clear that the selectors have drawn a line regarding Warner's selection.
