David Warner eyes Test series wins in India and England

Australia opening batter David Warner wants to beat India in India before ending his Test career. Australia's last series win in India came way back in 2004. The 35-year-old feels it would be a phenomenal feat if Australia beat India in their own backyard.

Australia last toured India in 2016-17 and lost the four-match Test series 2-1. Meanwhile, Warner also wants to win the Ashes series in England. Australia came close to winning the series in 2019 but had to be satisfied with a 2-2 draw. They are the current holder of the urn but they have not beaten England in England in a series since Warner started playing for Australia.

"We still haven't beaten India in India. That would be nice to do. And obviously, England away, we had a drawn series in 2019, but hopefully, if I managed to get that chance and opportunity, I might think about going back," ESPNcricinfo quoted Warner as saying.

Warner will be 37 when Australia next tours England. However, the southpaw feels age is just a number and he will as hungry for runs as ever. "I think James Anderson sets the benchmark for older guys these days. We look up to him as we're getting on in our days. But for me, it's about performing to the best of my ability and putting runs on the board.

“In the first two Tests, I actually look like a proper batsman, it's almost like I've played my career the other way and had to knuckle down and respect the bowling and the line and lengths that they were bowling and obviously, the hundred eluded me," said Warner.

Meanwhile, Australia have retained the Ashes by taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. Warner has had a good series with bat, scoring 240 runs.
