Australian opener David Warner has announced his retirement from One Day International (ODI) cricket.

The 37-year-old previously announced his retirement from test cricket ahead of an ongoing series with Pakistan.

On Monday, David Warner said his decision to also retire from ODI cricket was one he was “very, very comfortable with”.

He also said retiring would create opportunities for new players and allow him greater freedom to play franchise cricket overseas – Warner has been a part of the Indian Premier League for 14 seasons, where he has a massive following.
