Warner Is Still In Our Best 11 Players To Win First Test: Geroge Bailey
World Test Championship: After former Australia fast-bowler Johnson launched a scathing attack over David Warner's selection for the first Test against Pakistan starting from December 14, chief selector George Bailey came out in support of the left-handed opener, saying he is still the best option to open alongside Usman Khawaja.
Earlier this year, Warner expressed his wish to finish his Test career at the third and final Test against Pakistan at his home ground in Sydney. Although Warner has been in exceptional form in white-ball cricket, he has only averaged 31.79 since the start of 2020 and made only 285 runs at an average of 28.50 in five Ashes Tests this year.
"Ultimately, we still think he's in our best 11 players to win the first Test. I think Test cricket, in terms of the way that the World Test Championship points is set up, each Test is critical. There's points on the line for each and every game."
