Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believe that David Warner deserve the chance to end his Test career on his terms rather than be dropped.

Warner’s form is under the microscope after making just 173 runs from his last 10 innings at an average of 19.22. He hasn’t passed 50 in any of those knocks and hasn’t registered a century since 2020.

Warner was also dismissed for a first-ball duck by Kagiso Rabada on the opening day at the Gabba

"I think what he should be doing is being as realistic and looking to the future as he can," Ponting said on Channel 7.

"Like I said before, he deserves the chance to finish the way he wants to finish. I would hate to see him get to an Indian tour or at the start of the Ashes tour and then get the tap on the shoulder. That would be a disappointing way for his career to end…it might be after the Sydney Test. Let's wait and see. Also, I hope that he gets some runs between now and then,"

Australia’s next match, the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, will be Warner’s 100th Test.
