australian batsman david warner has stated that he will not engage in a verbal fight with his English opponents ahead of the Ashes series.

Warner has a long history with England, which is especially evident in his 2019 Ashes performance. Warner was not well received in England after his year-long ban for his part in the ball-tampering controversy ended. After only managing 95 runs in 10 innings and being bowled out frequently by Broad, he had a miserable series. Warner anticipates that, like contemporary cricket, the Ashes will be played in good spirits.

“He only sells newspapers and clickbait, so I won’t get involved in any of that. I’ll leave it to myself. No real pranks on the pitch today. It’s just about playing quality cricket and trying to get the advantage of each other. He’s a lot more connected these days than he was before, which I think is great for the game.” David Warner said.

“You never write off a great player” – Usman Khawaja on David Warner
David Warner was ruled out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after the second Test due to injury. David Warner again played in the ODI series as well as the following season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading Delhi Capitals (DC) to 9th place on the points standings. Khawaja, another leadoff hitter, believes the veteran is on the mend.
“I’ve seen him hit the last few days and I don’t want to curse him out, but he looks good. This is probably the best look I’ve seen on the net in a while. That doesn’t always correlate to runs, but if we have any chance of Davey scoring runs, this could be it. He always plays the best he can when he has his back against the wall too. You never rule out a great player, so I’m expecting runs.” Khawaja said.
