David Warner does not deserve to be sent off as a hero, Australian legend raises questions

Former Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has hit out at David Warner over the upcoming farewell Test series against Pakistan and raised questions as to why the left-handed opening batsman is being given a hero's farewell despite the infamous 2018 ball-tampering scandal. He played a role in. Let us tell you that Warner had earlier said that he wants to end his Test career when Australia faces Pakistan in the third and final match of the series at the SCG in January 2024. Warner was named in Australia's 14-man squad for the first Test against Pakistan. The first Test will start on December 14 at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

Johnson wrote in his column for 'The West Australian' that as we prepare for David Warner's farewell series, can anyone tell me why this is? Why does a struggling Test opening batsman have to name his retirement date and why should a player at the center of one of the biggest scandals in Australian cricket history be given a hero's farewell?

Johnson delved into Warner's involvement in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal during the Test series against South Africa in Cape Town, which meant the opening batsman was banned for 12 months. Although Warner was not alone in Sandpapergate, he was a senior member of the team at the time. He said that some people will never be able to forget the Sandpapergate scandal.
