In a scathing critique, former Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson targeted his former teammates David Warner and George Bailey, raising questions about the rationale behind affording Warner a Test farewell, given his struggles in red-ball cricket and also accused Warner of failing to acknowledge his role in the ball-tampering scandal, widely known as 'Sandpaper Gate.'
In an op-ed for 'The West Australian', Johnson argued that Warner's current form and his association with the ball-tampering controversy fall short of warranting a "hero's send-off."
