Warner will have a big role in Ashes and WTC final: Andrew McDonald

Australia head coach Andrew McDonald believes David Warner will play a key role in the upcoming World Test Championship final against India and the Ashes series against England. The India tour earlier this year was a tough one for Warner. The Delhi Capitals captain scored 516 runs in 14 matches in the IPL but the team could not reach the playoffs. Despite these setbacks, Macdonald is confident that Warner will be in top form in England. “We expect him to play a key role in the Ashes and the WTC final,” he told Australian radio station Sen.

Warner has been selected in the Australian squad for the WTC final against India and the first two Ashes Tests. The selectors have also picked up Marcus Harris and Matt Renshaw as substitutes. McDonald said, “He is an important part of the team. Otherwise he would not have been in the team. He is also in the squad for the first two Ashes Tests which means he is part of our strategy. Warner returned home injured after scoring just 26 runs in three Test innings against India.

His average in ten innings in the Ashes was 9. 50 remained. McDonald said, “He has been successful in these conditions before and we have confidence in his talent.” I talked to him only yesterday. He is keen to do well.” The World Test Championship final will be played at The Oval from June 7 to 11, while the five-Test Ashes series will be held from June 16 to July 31.
