Soon after retiring from Test cricket, David Warner made a major revelation regarding Australian players.
While speaking to Fox Cricket, the left-handed batter remarked, 'When I came into the team, the way that I went about it on the field was to get in people’s faces, to upset them and to get them off their rhythm when they’re batting. I was moulded into being that person.'
The 37-year-old had a complete change in attitude following the 2018 ball-tampering scandal.
He said that the art of sledging will soon become a thing of the past courtesy of T20 franchise leagues such as the Indian Premier League, where cricketers share change rooms with their opponents, according to the 'Fox Cricket' report.
He added, 'I think that’s probably the way forward. I don’t think you’ll see that old aggression again.'
Warner also expressed his wish to take up coaching in the near future, 'Yeah, I’ve got ambitions later down the track to potentially coach. I’ll have to speak with the wife first to see if I’m allowed a few more days away.'
