David Warner Included in Australia's Squad for Pakistan Test Despite Criticism

Former teammate Mitchell Johnson criticizes Warner's performance and role in past scandal, while selector George Bailey defends his inclusion.

David Warner has been named in Australia's squad for the first Test of the series against Pakistan, despite criticism from former teammate Mitchell Johnson.
Johnson criticized Warner for his role in the sandpaper scandal and his recent performance, stating that Warner has a 'tailender's average' in recent years.
Warner has previously expressed his desire to retire from Test cricket at his home ground, the Sydney Cricket Ground, in the third Test against Pakistan next month.
Despite his recent performance, Warner's contribution to Australia's recent World Cup triumph seems to have secured his place in the squad.
Former teammate Johnson also criticized selector George Bailey, questioning his handling of Warner and his closeness to the players.
