Ricky Ponting delivers telling David Warner retirement verdict ahead of 2023 Ashes

Australia legend Ricky Ponting has warned under-fire opener David Warner that he needs to start "looking to the future" amid questions over his future as a Test cricketer.

The 36-year-old has not scored a Test hundred in almost three years and has averaged just 20.61 this year. During the Australian summer, Warner has managed just 105 runs at 17.50 so far against the West Indies and South Africa, with Kagiso Rabada notably dismissing him for a golden duck at the Gabba.

It was just the second golden duck of Warner's Test career, with the first coming against Sri Lanka back in 2013, and Ponting has urged him to consider his future as he "deserves the chance to finish the way he wants".
