Aussie cricket legend delivers blunt one-word response to David Warner's shock offer to come out of retirement

Daily Mail  

Legendary Australian Test keeper Ian Healy says he'd offer a firm 'No' to David Warner's offer of coming out of retirement to open the batting against India declaring selectors have to 'commit' to the future. As potential replacements at the top of the batting order failed across the second round of the Sheffield Shield competition, Healy suggested Mitchell Marsh as an opener and Josh Inglis, after back-to-back hundreds for Western Australia, batting at number six could be a solution. Ian Healy says he would offer a firm 'No' to David Warner's offer to come out of retirement amid Australia's top order crisis David Warner meets King Charles in Sydney 22/10/2024. Healy added that Mitchell Marsh could bat as an opener against India and Josh Inglis could come in at No 6 Healy said Inglis, the first-choice Australian keeper in both the ODI and T20 teams, could also help provide middle-order runs with Marsh at the top should the contenders continue to flounder.
