David Warner, a 33-year-old exploring Australia opener, turned to the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup as ‘the ultimate target.’
In the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in Australia, Warner was the second-highest runner. He is hoping to have another struggle to raise the fifty-over cup in 2023 and experienced the thrill of World Cup glory in 2015.
“When the legs get older, they’re going to tell me. I feel just as fit as a fiddle now, and if I can continue as I did between the wickets, then who knows it.
In the meantime, Warner may have two T20 World Cups, including one in his home ground. The opener has said that after next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India, he will switch from the shortest format to give younger batsmen an opportunity.
“There is Twenty20 World Cups back-to-back, and I began my career with Twenty20 cricket, and I believe it is crucial to have young kids come through, and they also get a chance play at that level.

“I have been lucky enough to get this chance by using T20 cricket, so I think it’s a perfect platform for these youngsters to put some pressure on and know how to do it at this stage.
“We are witnessing a lot of talents and guys coming through crickets from Australia (and I think that it is important to leave those opportunities open.”
