NEW DELHI: Former Australian cricketer Simon O'Donnell has expressed his disapproval of farewell Tests, particularly in the context of opening batter David Warner's desire for a farewell Test at his home ground in Sydney against Pakistan. O'Donnell believes that players should not have the privilege of picking and choosing the venue and date for their farewell.
Warner, aged 37, had previously stated his intention to conclude his Test career during the three-Test series against Pakistan, with the final match scheduled to take place in Sydney in January. O'Donnell, airing his views on Sen Radio, remarked, "I don't like farewell tours. I didn't like it back in Steve Waugh's Day or Mark Taylor's Day. I think you're invited to play for Australia and it's an honour to do that."
