Mitchell Johnson's Criticism of David Warner Sparks Controversy

Warner's inclusion in Australia's Test squad against Pakistan remains despite public debate over his performance and past conduct.

Former Australian cricketer Mitchell Johnson has publicly criticized David Warner, questioning his place in the national team and his role in the 2018 'Sandpapergate' scandal.
Johnson's comments have sparked a heated debate within the cricket community, with some defending Warner and others agreeing with Johnson's critique.
Johnson revealed that his criticism was partly sparked by a 'personal' text message he received from Warner earlier this year.
Warner's manager, James Erskine, has defended the cricketer, calling Johnson's comments 'ignorant' and 'incendiary'.
Despite the controversy, Warner has been named in Australia's squad for the first Test against Pakistan, which starts on December 14.
