Warner says he may retire from T20 internationalsPerry picks up her third Belinda Clark awardAn emotional David Warner completed a stunning return to international cricket by claiming his third Allan Border medal, finishing a single vote ahead of Steve Smith.
Australian cricket’s other highest individual honour went to star women’s allrounder Ellyse Perry, who picked up her third Belinda Clark award with 161 votes.
Warner and Smith were banned from representing Australia for a year after the 2018 sandpaper scandal, only returning in June to the national set-up. Prolific performances in the
World Cup and Australia’s home Test summer allowed Warner (194) to edge out Smith (193) in Monday night’s count at Melbourne’s Crown Palladium.
