Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has defended David Warner’s Ashes contribution, but refused to guarantee the opener will keep his place as the series heads to Old Trafford.
Warner enjoyed an encouraging Second Test at Lord’s, making his first half-century in England since 2015, but followed that up with scores of one and four in last week’s defeat at Headingley, falling to Stuart Broad for the 16th and 17th times in Test cricket.
