The 38-year-old opener will make his debut in the competition after being picked up by London Spirit in this week's draft. Warner has often faced a hostile reception when playing in England, with tensions even boiling over in the Lord\u2019s Long Room during the 2023 Ashes following Jonny Bairstow\u2019s controversial stumping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I actually want them to come at Australians. I love that stuff. That's what gets me going,\" Warner said. \"If they want to boo me, boo me, but don\u2019t boo the team or anything like that.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When asked about his return to Lord\u2019s, Spirit\u2019s home ground, Warner acknowledged the potential for another heated atmosphere. \"We\u2019ll have to wait until I step onto that field and see how they respond. I\u2019ll have to walk past the Long Room first to get to the dressing room, so that will be interesting,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"But this time, I\u2019m playing for London Spirit, not Australia. And most importantly, I need to find out if the Lord\u2019s lunches are as good for The Hundred as they are for internationals!\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Looking ahead to England\u2019s 2025-26 Ashes tour of Australia, Warner is unconvinced that Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes\u2019 aggressive style of Test cricket - dubbed 'Bazball' - will hold up in Australian conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I don\u2019t know if 'Bazball' is still a thing in England, but I just can\u2019t see it working in Australia,\" he said. \"With the bounce and the types of fields Australia set last time in England, it would be a high-risk approach. You want to wear out the pitch and take the game into days four and five, and that style doesn\u2019t really allow for that.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Warner also dismissed any idea that he might offer insights on Australia\u2019s players to his English teammates at London Spirit. \"I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get plenty of questions, but I won\u2019t be giving anything away,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Warner briefly entertained the idea of coming out of retirement for Australia's series against India last year - when the team was struggling to find a reliable opening partner for Usman Khawaja - he insists he\u2019s now done with international cricket for good.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
