I would love to lead Australia in future: David Warner
David Warner would love to lead Australia in future:
Australian opener David Warner
has revealed his ambitions of leading the national team in the future.
"It's definitely something I'd love to do," the explosive left-handed
batsman said ahead of the fourth Test against India starting on Friday.
"Obviously
'Pup' (Clarke) is doing a great job now, but in time I think I'd have
something to offer," the 26-year-old left-hander was quoted as saying by
'Courier Mail'.
Warner was kicked out of the Centre of Excellence in Australia as a 20-year-old.
"The
setback of getting kicked out of the cricket academy was disappointing.
That was a lack of maturity on my part. The group we had there was
fantastic, but we were kidding ourselves if we thought we were doing the
right thing.
The flashy batsman, who has played for Delhi Daredevils in the last IPL, believed he has learnt from past mistakes.
"That
showed me you have to do the right things along the way. I had some
setbacks but I'd like to think I learned from my mistakes and I still
have growing up to do.
"I'm only 26. I'm still learning off the
older guys in the team, but I'd like to think of myself as a leader in
this environment."
Warner has not been having a good outing in
the ongoing four-match Border-Gavaskar Test series, which the
Australians have already lost having suffered big defeats in Chennai,
Hyderabad and Mohali.
