HARARE: Disgraced batsman David Warner’s hopes of playing in the third Ashes Test looked slim yesterday after he failed in both innings of Australia A’s tour match against a Zimbabwe Select XI in Harare.
After managing just six in his side’s first innings, Warner was out for 11 yesterday as he battled for 36 balls to find his rhythm against a modest home attack.
The 26-year-old is still officially part of Australia’s Ashes squad, but has been sent to the A team in the hope he would spend some time in the middle after a turbulent period off the pitch.REUTERS
