David Warner, Dean Elgar Retirement: International matches have started in the new year i.e. 2024. All the teams are busy in their preparations. Meanwhile, the date of January 3 is going to be very special. Two matches will be played on this day and four teams of the world will face each other. If the match which started from 3rd January continues for full 5 days then it will continue till 7th. This day will become even more important. After this day, two legendary players will not be seen on the Test cricket field. That means these players will enter the field to play their last match. Both these players have already announced their retirement.
David Warner will play his last test match in Sydney
The match between Australia and Pakistan will start first on January 3, 2024. This match will be played in Sydney. On the other hand, from this day South Africa and Indian teams will face each other in Cape Town. The special thing is that this match will be the last match of the series. Australia’s legendary opening batsman David Warner has already announced that Sydney will be his last Test. This is also his home ground. However, on New Year he has also announced retirement from ODI. However, he also added that if his team needs it, he can make a comeback in the Champions Trophy to be held in 2025. This is a matter of later, but this will be his last Test in Sydney, after which he will not be seen playing in this format.
Dean Elgar will also play his last match against Team India
In this way, when there is a match between India and South Africa, Dean Elgar of South Africa will participate in it. This match to be held in Cape Town will be Dean Elgar’s last match. Dean Elgar only plays Tests anyway. He has only a few ODI matches to his name. The special thing is that he will be seen captaining in his last match. Although Temba Bavuma was elected captain for the series, but he got injured in the first test and Dean Elgar took charge in his place. He also scored a brilliant century in that match, which is memorable. There is still no possibility of Temba Bavuma playing in the next match. If this happens then Dean Elgar will be seen captaining. Dean Elgar will not be seen back on the international cricket field after January 7. Both the players are veterans and have made many records in their names.
Australia and South Africa teams ahead in test series
The special thing is that Australia has won the first two matches of the three-match Test series being played between Australia and Pakistan and has also captured the series. Whatever happens in the last test will happen, but Australia will keep the series. At the same time, South Africa has won the first match of the series being played between India and South Africa by an innings. This means that the South African team will also not lose the series from here. David Warner and Dean Elgar will not only want to make their last match historic, they will also try to make their team victorious by scoring runs themselves. It remains to be seen how their performance is in the last match.
