“If he (Warner) rides off into the sundown and says, ‘Sorry Australian cricket, I’m going to develop into a gun for rent for my Indian franchise staff in numerous tournaments’, you may’t query him on that, that’s his prerogative and he’s accomplished every little thing he must get the profile and get that market worth. It’s the brand new youthful participant coming in that begins to make these noises the place it’ll be actually difficult,” Gilchrist added.
