Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting fears struggling David Warner runs the chance of lacking out on the Ashes sequence and his Test profession may finish on a tragic notice following his extended dry run with the bat. Ponting feels Warner would battle to discover a place within the touring Ashes squad and his Test profession may simply not finish on his personal phrases. Warner had a torrid tour of India, the place he scored 1, 10 and 15 in three innings earlier than returning residence with a fractured elbow. The left-hander has struggled within the final England tour in 2019, averaging simply 9.5. “I’ve heard him talk before about their cycle. This current cycle will finish after the World Test Championship, which is obviously the week before the first Ashes Test and I would think all going well that they want to get David through until the end of that Test match at least,” Ponting was quoted as saying by RSN Cricket.

“It’s up to him though. The only currency you have as a batsman is runs and if you’re not scoring any, you leave yourself open.

“It’s occurred to all of us, it occurred to me. When you get to a sure age and it seems to be like your type is dropping off barely, then the knives are sharpened and it would not take lengthy,” he added.

Ponting feels Warner should have quit after scoring a double hundred in the Boxing Day Test against South Africa in Melbourne last summer, which was also his 100th match or after the next game at his home ground in Sydney.

“For him to complete the way in which he deserves to complete, the apparent factor for me was possibly to tug the pin after Sydney. He received 200 in Melbourne, performed his a hundredth Test, performed his 101 Test in Sydney, his residence floor and possibly end there,” he said.

“The last item he deserved is to be away on a tour and get in to the center of a sequence and get dropped and his profession is over. That could be an terrible approach for him to complete.

“He’s a driven little man, a pretty stubborn little bugger, so we’ll see how he goes.”
