Australian opener David Warner on Monday announced that he has decided to retire from his one-day international and test careers to spend more time with his family, reported Reuters.
"I've got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I’m definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," he said while speaking at a press conference at the Sydeny Cricket Ground.
"That was something that I had said through the World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement," he added.

"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other (T20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit," said Warner.
The 37-year-old left-handed batter, however, did not rule out playing in the 2025 Champions Trophy if called upon, reported BBC.
"I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up. If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available," he added.
The Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017 but is set to be reinstated in 2025 in Pakistan.
