IPL 2019: David Warner Scores A Half-Century In Practice Match For Sunrisers Hyderabad

David Warner made a sparkling return to Sunrisers Hyderabad’s camp on Sunday as he scored a half-century in the practice match between Sunrisers Hyderabad A and Sunrisers Hyderabad B.

The twitter account of the franchise itself gave an update on it and also shared a video of Warner batting during the match.

The former captain of the franchise played a knock of 65 off 43. Apart from him, Manish Pandey and Deepak Hooda also batted well, which saw Sunrisers Hyderabad A post a score of 211 on the board.

The focus was though on Warner as he landed in the camp earlier today and straightaway, he played a great knock.

The left-handed batsman is an automatic selection in the playing XI right from the start but it is not yet clear whether he will be playing in first few matches or not.

The ban imposed on him and Steve Smith ends on March 28, which is the main reason why there is suspense over his participation in the match.

Due to the same reason, he and Steven Smith were not included in the squad for the series against Pakistan.

Also, he will not be given the captaincy duties back.

Cricket Australia had banned him from captaincy for lifetime and it is highly unlikely that he will be asked to lead the team, even if Kane Williamson arrives in India after the start of the league.

If Williamson does not arrive in time, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be leading the team.

Last year, he was appointed as the deputy to Williamson, who was chosen as captain after it was confirmed that Warner will not be playing IPL.

Warner had led Sunrisers Hyderabad to a title triumph in 2016 when the Orange Army defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final.

This year, he will not be playing the full tournament.

Warner and Smith will return to Australia early to prepare for the World Cup.

Cricket Australia had only issued NOC after confirming that they have to return to Australia before May 1.

Smith and Warner are almost certain to make their national comebacks for World Cup 2019.

Along with them, Jason Behrendorff, Marcus Stoinis and Andrew Tye can also leave India early.

Stoinis is confirmed to get a place in the national squad while there is still doubt over Behrendorff and Tye.
