A Sunrisers Hyderabad fan on Instagram demanded the franchisee to retain their 2016 IPL winning captain David Warner ahead of the 2022 auctions. Replying to the comment, Warner said ‘no thanks’, which clearly indicates that the Australian stalwart will play for a new team next year.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has named four players which five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians should retain ahead of the 2022 IPL auctions. The existing eight teams have the deadline of November 30 to decide on the players they wish to retain, before the auctions take place.

David Warner attributed his T20 World Cup 2021 success to extreme hard work, and was glad to have got an opportunity, after being sacked as Sunrisers Hyderabad captain and being dropped from playing XI during IPL 2021. Warner aggregated  289 runs at 48.17 in Australia’s victorious T20 WC campaign.

Brad Haddin has said that dropping David Warner from Sunrisers Hyderabad’s playing XI was not a good decision during the IPL 2021. Warner was sacked from the captaincy during the first phase of the IPL in India and wasn’t included in the team after the first two games of the second phase in the UAE.
