David Warner Says Won’t Be At Stadium “Again” Amid rumors of SRH exit
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s big-hitting opener David Warner, who has been dropped from the playing XI because of poor form, has said that he won’t be seen at the stadium “again”, hinting that his stint with the struggling franchise could be over.
Warner was not included last night from the game against Rajasthan Royals, which SRH won by seven wickets.
That win aside, the franchise has battled a poor run with only two wins from 10 matches, which has left them at the bottom of the points table and out of contention for a playoffs berth.

Warner’s absence from the team dugout did not go unnoticed and fans wondered about his whereabouts underneath an instagram post by SRH.Responding to the queries, Warner posted, “Unfortunately won’t be again but keep supporting, please.”
We can’t make the finals, so we made a decision to get the youngsters to experience not just the matches, but time around the ground and around the set-up. And for this match we made a decision…he wasn’t the only experienced player that we’d left back at the hotel,” said Trevor Bayliss of Warner’s absence after the game.
Warner has been SRH’s star opener for a number of years, having carried the weight of a fragile batting order single-handedly. He was the Orange Cap winner in 2015, 2017 and 2019, having amassed 4014 in 95 games for the franchise at a whopping average of 49.56 and striking at 142.59.
