Graeme Swann opines on David Warner’s exclusion from SRH
Legendary English player Graeme Swann believes that there is more behind the sacking of Warner than his poor form. Swann stated that Warner’s comments regarding the SRH’s management didn’t go well with the franchise which might have caused his exit from the playing XI.
“It was a harsh call in my opinion. But at the end of the day, it is the decision of the selectors to do that. It seems like a message has been given to David Warner after that press conference where he passed the buck that this is not my decision but the selectors’.
“Someone’s not happy about it, and unhappy enough to get rid of him as the skipper and drop him from the team. It looks like punishment to me more than anything,” Swann said while talking on Star Sports pre-match show.
