Australian team's national selector, George Bailey, confirmed that David Warner will not be considered for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025.

Warner retired from all formats of the game for Australia after the T20 World Cup 2024. His last match for Australia was against India when the Mitchell Marsh-led side lost by 24 runs. However, Warner had reckoned that he would be open to play the Champion's Trophy despite announcing his international retirement.
"Our understanding is that David is retired, and [he] should be commended on what has been an incredible career across all three formats. Certainly, our planning is that he won't be there in Pakistan,” Bailey said.

"You never know when Bull's joking…think he's just stirring the pot a bit. He's had a wonderful career, can't celebrate it enough, and think as time goes by, his legacy of what he has done for Australia and we reflect back on that, the legend of a player is only going to continue to grow. But as far as this team goes and the journey to transition to some different players, in his case across all three formats, it's going to be exciting," he added.
Bailey also said that the selectors were not moving on from the other players in white-ball cricket even as they look to shift focus towards the future.
"Certainly for Glenn and Mitch, the Champions Trophy is very much on the horizon, [and is a] very important tournament for those guys. And Starcy in particular, I think he's going to have a huge summer. Clearly, some of the decisions made around this series are around prioritising and getting guys right for what will be a really big summer. As far as ending players, seeing where guys might finish up, we haven't had those conversations," he added.
