David Warner missed the ideal opportunity to end his career, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said, adding that the opener should have retired in front of his home crowd after hitting a double-century in his 100th test.
Warner flew back to Australia last month from India after suffering a fractured elbow and a concussion in the second test of the four-match series. "He'd just played his 100th test in Melbourne, and obviously got 200 in the first innings down there. And to bow out in front of his home crowd is obviously the way that every player would like to finish their careers.
Australia's victory over India in the third test confirmed their place in the World Test Championship final, with Ponting saying Warner will likely have a place in the team for the final in June as well as the Ashes series in England.
