David Warner, who returned from a one-year ban, performed splendidly during the ICC World Cup 2019 as he ended up as the tournament’s second-highest run-scorer. The left-handed opener accumulated 647 runs at an impressive average of 71.88, just one run behind Indian opener Rohit Sharma.

However, his return to Test cricket was forgettable. He had a miserable Ashes as he could only muster 95 runs in 5 games that he played. England pacer Stuart Broad had made David Warner his bunny as he bagged the southpaw on 7 out of 10 occasions.
