David Warner limps out of Australia practice ahead of Ashes
Written by News on 30/07/2019
David Warner limped out of Australia practice after suffering a bruised knee, just days before the start of the Ashes.
The 32-year-old was due to complete his comeback from a 12-month ban for his part in a ball-tampering scandal against South Africa back in March 2018.
Both Warner and team-mate Steve Smith, who was also involved in the incident, returned to the one-day team earlier in the year.
Warner was regarded as one of the most prolific players in Test cricket before his suspension, hitting 21 centuries at an average of almost 50 Test appearances.
The opening batsman was hurt when he inside-edged a ball on to his left knee during a net session, but Sky Sports News understand it is not thought to be too serious.
Watch England take on Australia in this summer’s Ashes series, live on Sky Sports Cricket (channel 404) and Sky Sports Main Event (channel 401) from 10am on Thursday.
