Australia opener David Warner is set to miss the white-ball series against West Indies consisting three ODIs and an equal number of T20Is for ILT20.

Warner will feature for Dubai Capitals in the ILT20 with the tournament running from January 20 to the final scheduled for February 18.

"The CEO of the Australian Cricketers' Association, Greenberg, hinted that Warner may apply for a No Objection Certificate to join the ILT20, stating, 'I think the short answer to that is probably yes.' Greenberg acknowledged Warner's dedication to the Big Bash League (BBL) and underscored the contemporary reality of players seeking schedule flexibility, as mentioned in a talk with SEN.

"There's no doubt in the next phase of Dave's life he's going to be looking to ply his trade where he gets the best return on his investment. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, in fact I'm encouraging him to do that. There will be times where he'll be looking to miss certain games and tours. That's the sort of flexibility we've got to get our heads around. Some people won't like that, but that's the modern world of which we're living in and we have to embrace it," Greenberg added.

According to few media reports, Warner and a few other senior players were already informed that they will not be considered for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA.

Warner will be taking part in Indian Premier League 2024 for Delhi Capitals, but he already had been informed about CA’s plan to go with a young squad in the mega T20 event next year.
