NEW DELHI: Putting an end to the chatter around David Warner<\/a>‘s comeback for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Australia skipper Pat Cummins<\/a> said that the team loves the former opener but won’t be considering him for the marquee series against India.
Warner, who retired earlier this year after the Sydney Test against Pakistan, recently offered to make a comeback. Warner said that he is always available and is just a phone call away.
In Warner’s absence, Steve Smith has been opening for the side but the decision from the management hasn’t quite worked out yet.
Responding to the 37-year-old’s comments on The Grade Cricketer podcast, Cummins labelled the offer a bit of a wind-up. He then cheekily said that the team is interested and will be in touch.<\/p>\n

“Dave, we\u2019re very interested. We\u2019re taking it very seriously and we\u2019ll be in touch, mate,” Cummins said on the podcast.
“I did speak to Dave a couple of days ago. I can\u2019t remember if he reached out or I did\u2026 he\u2019s like, \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d, and I was like, \u201cYeah, good luck with [Sydney] Thunder and I look forward to your comments on Fox,\u201d he said.
“I think the truth\u2019s somewhere in the middle. I reckon it (offer) is a bit of a wind-up but I reckon he doesn\u2019t mind seeing himself in the back page. We love Davey but he is retired,” Cummins added.<\/p>\n
