Warner, according to his manager, has no intention of retiring in Sydney.

 The struggling batter does not want to retire in Sydney, according to David Warner's management, who also argues that Australian selectors must take into account the Test great's entire career before determining whether his time is up.

Heavy-duty tours of India and England in 2023 are still very much on the table, according to James Erskine, the agent who has assisted Warner in navigating the ball-tampering scandal and its consequences.

The selectors, rather than Warner, may be forced to take action, most likely after this series is over, if sufficient runs aren't made when Warner becomes the 14th Australian to play in 100 Tests on Boxing Day.

Through three Tests this summer—two against the West Indies and one against South Africa—Warner has a top score of 48. In Brisbane, the South Africans threw him out after a golden duck and three. The brutal ball from Kagiso Rabada that struck David Warner in the first innings at the Gabba would have easily eliminated many batsmen, but the brash opener has made a career out of deftly deflecting attempts to wrap him up around the rib cage.

After the Ashes shock, MCG hopes to boost pitch ratings with "a decent balance."

He hasn't scored a century in almost three years, and in his last 21 innings, he has only reached 50 twice. He is, however, averaging less than 21 in his 10 Test matches this year. Despite selection chairman George Bailey saying this week that "I personally think there are runs around the corner for him," that may soon be a major consideration on the selectors' minds.

At 36, Warner is nearing the end of his illustrious Test career, during which he has amassed around 8000 runs at a strike rate of 45.52 with 24 tonnes. There are rumors that the third and final Test against the Proteas, which will take place at his favorite SCG, could be his last. Erskine, though, stated that there are currently no plans to terminate the war.

"I don't believe it will be his final test, no. If that's the case, it's news to me," Erskine added.

We'll just wait and see. From Davey's perspective, the most important factor is that he has three small children. It is cruel if your basic circumstance requires you to be absent for nine or eight months of the year. Depending on how he fares, I believe that will be the choice.

He has several hobbies besides cricket, but there hasn't been any discussion about retiring.

On Boxing Day, David Warner will play in his 100th Test match against South Africa, but he must find a way to fend off the Proteas' intimidating pace attack.

When Warner uploaded photos of himself and his kids in a plane on Instagram on Tuesday with the comment "My current circumstance," it raised questions. Here we go to Bali."

Warner's aesthetic is incomparable and has "Changed the Way the Game Is Played"

Another post featured a photo of a Bali setting with the dateline December 19 on it. During his press conference on Tuesday afternoon, assistant coach Daniel Vettori was questioned about Warner's alleged trip, but the player himself quickly put the rumours to rest by writing on Instagram: "For those who are concerned I'm currently walking Coogee beach... and will be heading to the grocery store after. Stay tuned until then.

It came out that Warner, who visited Bali with his family the previous year, was making a joke with a buddy who is currently on vacation there.

Erskine asserted that he did not believe Warner had been diverted by news coverage of his recent choice to skip a private hearing that may have lifted his lifetime ban from holding office.

Warner explained that the decision was made because the panel decided to hold a public hearing rather than his and Cricket Australia's wish for a private one. Erskine then attacked Cricket Australia on the radio for the flawed procedure.

"Old David, he's a very difficult nut. That doesn't particularly worry me, though," Erskine added.

We'll get together at some point to enjoy a drink or a glass of wine. I'm hoping to have a better understanding of it [Warner's future]. He received one hardball during the dismal Test in Brisbane, so it was just one of those things.

"The other question is, who would you truly like to succeed him? You can't micromanage it and switch to a bad pitch after one Test match. Despite the fact that it was thrilling to watch on television, Cricket Australia and the game suffered greatly.

Marcus Harris, a reserve batsman for the Test team from Victoria, has struggled to capitalize on his opportunities, averaging 25 in 14 games. While Matt Renshaw, who played the final of his 11 Tests in 2018, also has claims, he would likely replace Warner.
