New DelhI:<\/strong> Former Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has expressed his willingness to move past tensions with ex-teammate David Warner ahead of their roles as commentators for the highly anticipated five-Test Border-Gavaskar series against India.<\/p>\n

Johnson had previously criticised Warner\u2019s \u201cfarewell summer\u201d last year, questioning why a “struggling Test opener” was allowed to dictate his own retirement timeline. His remarks fuelled speculation about unresolved friction, particularly after Warner\u2019s shaky performances in the lead-up to his final Test at the SCG against Pakistan.<\/p>\n

However, speaking in Perth on Wednesday, Johnson downplayed any lingering animosity, emphasising professionalism. “We\u2019re adults. You move on. We live our own lives, and we all cross paths at some point. From my point, I\u2019m an adult, he\u2019s an adult. You say, \u2018g\u2019day,\u2019 and wish each other the best. I don\u2019t take too much out of that whole situation,” Johnson was quoted by The Nightly as saying.<\/p>\n

Johnson further lauded Warner\u2019s potential as a commentator, predicting that his unfiltered style could bring fresh insight to the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about us now we\u2019re in the commentary box \u2014 we\u2019re there to give insight. He\u2019s going to always be one of those characters that goes harder and says what he feels. As a commentator, you want people to give opinions. He\u2019s an ex-player now, and I think he should be able to give that insight,” he said.<\/p>\n

In his controversial column in The West Australian last year, Johnson not only criticised Warner\u2019s retirement announcement but also revisited the batsman\u2019s role in the infamous Sandpapergate scandal.<\/p>\n

He had wrote, “Although Warner wasn\u2019t alone in Sandpapergate, he was at the time a senior member of the team and someone who liked to use his perceived power as a \u2018leader.\u2019 Now the way he is going out is underpinned by more of the same arrogance and disrespect to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson also backed Australia to perform strongly against India in the upcoming series. He highlighted the team\u2019s rested and experienced bowling attack as a significant advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re an experienced bowling attack\u2026 they know Perth well, even Optus Stadium. They\u2019ve played there on a few occasions and done well,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Australian bowling lineup is probably looking at the last series that they played and lost, hopefully taking that into this series. They\u2019ve had a bit of a rest as well, so being fresh helps. We\u2019re in for a tough series.\u201d<\/p>\n
