David Warner recently won the Allan Border medal

Australia's prolific batsman, David Warner hinted at a possible retirement from T20Is after this year's T20 WC in Australia later this year. Warner wants to reduce the workload in order to extend his cricket career till 2023.

Warner stated that there isn't any bigger motivation than to represent the country in a World Cup. He stated that he was soon going to be on the other side of his 30s and wanted to plan out every series carefully to keep himself fit mentally and physically.

David Warner has indicated he may retire from T20 internationals at the end of next year, although the recent success of Australia’s 20-over side could help prolong his career in the format, writes @martinsmith9994 from Jo'burg #SAvAUS https://t.co/1DjZbrVGCt

"I definitely would be motivated to go to the (2021) World Cup, it's a (short) turnaround. When you've got such a great group of guys together, and you're enjoying that journey, you don't really want to leave that. At the moment, we're in a great place as a team and I'm just really excited to be a part of it again."

"This year will be my sixth World Cup and I definitely feel like this team we've got has the best chance of winning, particularly at home. If you manage to win on home soil, you obviously want to try and go back-to-back. That'd be an awesome feeling."

"But I'm 34 this year so if I want to keep playing Test and one-day cricket and get to that next one-day World Cup, something's going to have to give," he concluded.
