Only recently, David Warner came out with an emotional Insta post where he vented his ire at the country’s cricket board for repeatedly ignoring him. In-fact, his post came when Steve Smith was named captain of Australia for the second Test match against West Indies. Many asked why Smith was allowed to become captain even as Warner continue to serve life ban over the captaincy over Sandpaper gate.
Although, Cricket Australia is yet to declare their next steps in this issue, former Aussie skipper Ian Chappell said bringing instilling Warner as Australia captain may not be the wisest thing. Citing his age, Chappell said Warner he is too old to lead the team.
“If Cricket Australia were to lift the ban on Warner, what’s that going to do? I mean, you’re not going to appoint Warner captain of any Australian team, are you? He’s too old,” Chappell was quoted as saying by Channel Nine’s Wide World of Sports.
“And he’s not going to be given the role because the captain has got to be young enough to be able to lead by example, and those days are gone for David.”
