As Australia get set to take on Pakistan in a 3-match Test series at home, it is also anticipated to be David Warner's farewell series. The Sydney Test in January is likely to be Warner's last match in whites.
The southpaw nominating himself for the farewell series didin't go down well Warner's former teammate Mitchell Johnson.
In his column for The Western Australia, Johnson wrote, 'As we prepare for David Warner's farewell series, can somebody please tell me why? Why a struggling Test opener gets to nominate his own retirement date?'
The former fast bowler also brought up the Sandpaper Gate scandal and added, 'It's been five years and David Warner has still never really owned the ball-tampering scandal. Now the way he is going out is underpinned by more of the same arrogance and disrespect to our country.'
'Does this really warrant a swansong, a last hurrah against Pakistan that was forecast a year in advance as if he was bigger than the game and the Australian cricket team?'Johnson added.
Johnson also took a dig at Warner's poor form over the years and wrote, 'Granted he made his double century against South Africa at the MCG last summer, but they were the only runs he had scored in years. Leading into this year's Ashes series that was the only time he had reached 50 in his previous 17 Test innings.'
Johnson was Warner's team-mate from 2009 to 2015.&nbsp;

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had included Butt in the national selection panel along with former teammates Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum as consultant members

Salman Butt removed as Pakistan cricket’s selection consultant by PCB

Just 1 day after being included in the national selection panel,  tainted former Pakistan captain Salman Butt was removed as selection consultant.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had included Butt in the national selection panel along with former teammates Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum as consultant members

Just 1 day after being included in the national selection panel,&nbsp; tainted former Pakistan captain Salman Butt was removed as selection consultant, chief selector Wahab Riaz confirmed in a press conference on Saturday.
'As a chief selector, it's my decision as to who will work with me and whose support I need. But people started discussing nepotism and dosti, due to which I am reverting this decision. I have already spoken to Salman Butt and told him that he cannot be a part of my team,' said Wahab in the press conference.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had included Butt in the national selection panel along with former teammates Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum as consultant members ahead of Pakistan's five-match T20I series against New Zealand next year.&nbsp;
Wahab said that he had to reverse his decision to appoint Butt after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) faced backlash over picking him.
&ldquo;I think some people perhaps started running an agenda because they wanted to cast dirt on the cricket board and extract personal benefit out of insulting PCB. Since I am a part of this organization, I didn't want any such thing to happen, especially due to my decision, so I took it back," Wahab added.
The 39-year-old made a successful return to cricket in 2016 after serving a five-year ban for spot-fixing.&nbsp;
Butt was suspended for five years for his role in spot-fixing during the Pakistan and England Test match in August 2010.
After returning to cricket in 2016, Butt enjoyed a lot of success as a batter and captain in domestic competitions but was never considered for the national team again even though his partner in crime, Muhammad Amir was fast-tracked back into the Pakistan side in 2016 by the board.
Butt, a former opener, was last month hired for commentary assignments by the PCB for domestic competitions and is currently busy in the National T20 Championship.

The final was played on the same pitch used during India's league stage encounter against arch-rivals Pakistan. Although the Indian batters were successful against Pakistan, they weren't able to churn out the same result against the Aussies.

Following Team India's World Cup final loss against Australia in Ahmedabad, Rahul Dravid has reportedly blamed the pitch conditions for his side's dismal batting average at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
According to reports, Dravid was asked to explain in a private meeting with BCCI secretary Jay Shah and other officials as to what were the factors that led to his side failing to win the final in front of a packed home crowd on November 19.
Answering to the board, Dravid apparently said that the batters failed to give their best because of the unfavourable pitch conditions.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have decided to take a break from the white ball leg of India's tour of South Africa and will only be playing Tests against The Proteas.

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and star batter Virat Kohli are not the greatest Indian players to wear the blue jersey according to discarded Pakistan cricketer Junaid Khan.
Junaid selected Rohit Sharma as his greatest Indian player of all time.
When asked about who the better batter among Sachin and Virat is, Junaid said, "I am going to say Rohit Sharma. He has all kinds of shots in his arsenal.Virat is a great player. But the way Sachin batted in a different era, he would have scored more than 100 centuries in today's time. Everybody calls Rohit 'The Hitman'because of his incredible 264. He has also scored multiple double hundreds (in ODIs). This is rare, because he has done it more than once. He has also hit the most number of sixes."

"I got Kohli in the first match and he told me it will not happen again. I got him again in the second and third match.

The Rameshbabu siblings are now first pair of siblings in the history to achieve the title of Grandmaster.

Vaishali Rameshbabu achieved a historic milestone on Saturday, becoming India's third female Grandmaster by surpassing a remarkable 2500 rating during the 2023 IV Llobregat Open.
This accomplishment also cements the Rameshbabu siblings, with her younger brother Praggnanandhaa, as the first-ever Grandmaster pair of siblings in the history of chess.

At 22 years old, she has emerged from the shadows, adding another layer to the family's chess legacy.
Vaishali's journey includes attaining the titles of Woman International Master at 15, Woman Grandmaster at 17, and International Master at 20.
Vaishali joins an exclusive club, being only the third female Indian Grandmaster, following in the footsteps of Koneru Humpy and Harika Dronavalli. Her accomplishment marks India's first female Grandmaster in 12 years, after Dronavalli achieved the title in 2011.
The momentous occasion occurred during the 2023 IV Llobregat Open on December 2, where Vaishali's exceptional skills and determination shone brightly.&nbsp;

It was skipper Suryakumar Yadav's faith, believes Arshdeep Singh that helped him bowl a heroic final over

The young left-arm pacer conceded 37 runs in his first three overs and nobody expected him to defend 10 runs with Australian skipper Matthew Wade on strike. 

The young left-arm pacer conceded 37 runs in his first three overs and nobody expected him to defend 10 runs with Australian skipper Matthew Wade on strike.&nbsp;

Arshdeep Singh felt that it was simply divine intervention and unhinged faith from his skipper Suryakumar Yadav which enabled him to defend 10 runs in the final over of a thrilling fifth T20 International, wherein India pipped Australia by just six runs.
The left-arm seamer has been profligate at the death in T20Is for more than one year and after giving away 37 runs in his first three overs on Sunday, no one would have thought that he would be able to defend just 10 with the dangerous Matthew Wade on strike.
"I gave away too many runs but God gave me another chance and the support staff believed in me. To be honest, nothing was going in my mind. Surya bhai told me whatever has to happen will happen," a beaming Arshdeep said at the end of the match, having nailed those block-hole deliveries, giving away only three runs.
On his own bowling, he said,"A lot of lessons learnt but I will come back from the mistakes." Skipper Surya felt that the young team ticked all boxes in a comprehensive series win by 4-1 margin.

Sunday's results kept Arsenal two points clear at the top of the table, with Liverpool second and City in third.

EPL round-up: Six-goal thriller at Etihad Stadium, Liverpool edge Fulham; Chelsea's second home win

Sunday's results kept Arsenal two points clear at the top of the table, with Liverpool second and City in third.

Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski headed a dramatic late equaliser in a six-goal thriller at Manchester City on Sunday after Liverpool staged a sensational comeback on a breathless afternoon in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola's champions led 2-1 at the break thanks to a Phil Foden goal after Spurs captain Son Heung-min had scored at both ends, but Giovani Lo Celso's superb strike made it 2-2. Substitute Jack Grealish looked to have secured City's first Premier League win in three games when he struck in the 81st minute but the visitors refused to lie down and Sweden international Kulusevski rose to power home from Brennan Johnson's cross, stunning the Etihad crowd.
The game ended in controversy after play was initially allowed to go on after Erling Haaland was fouled as he played Grealish in on goal before it was then called back.
Sunday's results mean Arsenal remain two points clear at the top of the table, with Liverpool second and City in third.
Earlier, Liverpool appeared set for their first home defeat in the Premier League since October 2022 when they trailed 3-2 to Bobby De Cordova-Reid's goal in the 80th minute.
But they turned the tables in dramatic fashion through Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who struck in the 87th and 88th minutes for a 4-3 win over Fulham.&nbsp;
Chelsea recorded just their second Premier League home win of the season against Brighton, despite being reduced to 10 men when leading 2-1 before half-time, with Gallagher picking up a second booking.
Enzo Fernandez scored his second from the penalty spot in the 65th minute and Chelsea held on despite a late Joao Pedro goal.
