On the fourth day of the third and final AUS vs PAK Test at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Pat Cummins-led Australia secured an eight-wicket win over Pakistan. Yet, the match's enduring memory goes beyond Australia's 3-0 Test victory, focusing on David Warner's farewell in his final Test appearance for the national team. As PAK vs AUS 3rd Test comes to an end, the left-handed senior batter bids adieu to both ODIs and Tests.

In his farewell Test innings for Australia, David Warner contributed 57 runs off 75 balls. He got LBW off spinner Sajid Khan's delivery when Australia were just 11 runs short of a victory against Pakistan.

Over the past few months, senior opener David Warner played a pivotal role in Australian cricket team's significant achievements in international cricket, featuring in the ICC World Test Championship final against India, the Ashes squad, the ODI World Cup 2023 winning team, and most recently contributing to Australia's clean sweep against Pakistan.

"It's pretty much a dream come true. You win 3-0, cap off what's been a great 18 months to 2 years for the Australian cricket team. World Test Championship win, an Ashes series draw and then the World Cup. To come here and finish 3-0 is an outstanding achievement," Warner said in the post-match presentation.

"Would like to be remembered as exciting, entertaining, and I hope I put a smile on everyone's face with the way that I played and hopefully the young kids out there can follow in my footsteps. White-ball cricket to Test cricket. It's the pinnacle of our sport," the Southpaw added.

Up next, Australia is set to engage in a two-Test series against West Indies, commencing on January 17 in Adelaide. An emotional David Warner acknowledged that he won't be able to walk alongside his teammates for the upcoming Test series.

“It'll be quite emotional to watch the boys go out there and not play knowing that I was able to come out here and do what I could do. You got a great bunch of cricketers here, we are all almost over 30 years of age, time goes by, we are not getting younger. They're energetic, they're world-class and a great bunch of boys,” Warner said.
