Former Australian opener David Warner revealed he is ready to turn on his retirement decision and come back to Test cricket if Australia want him to fill a vacancy at the top of the batting order for the upcoming series against India. 

The 37-year-old, widely regarded as one of Australia's greatest openers, retired last summer after scoring 8,786 runs and 26 centuries, including a career-best unbeaten 335. 

Despite having played in 112 Tests, Warner expressed willingness to participate in New South Wales' next Sheffield Shield match to prove his readiness.

Warner made it clear that his offer was serious, denying any suggestion that his comments were made in jest. “I am always available, just got to pick up the phone if they really need me for the upcoming series,” Warner told Code Sports. 

However, with key players like Cameron Green dealing with injury and Steve Smith returning to the No. 4 spot after a brief opening stint, Warner believes Australia may need to revisit their opening options. 

“I did retire for the right reasons to finish the game, and I wanted to finish. But my hand is up if they desperately need someone,” concluded the opening batsman.
