Australian cricket team opener David Warner has hinted at possible a career in politics after he retires from international cricket.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter cricket, I wouldn\u2019t mind doing something,\u201d Warner said in The Final Word podcast.<\/p>\n
Of late, Warner has displayed stand out leadership quality both on and off the field. Apart from leading Australia to Trans-Tasman T20 Tri-Series title in the absence of regular captain Steve Smith just a week ago, he also played an influential role in resolving the pay dispute between Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers\u2019 Association a few months back.<\/p>\n
Warner now believes that he can show the same penchant in politics too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just like having responsibility and if there is anything that I can do to help anyone, whether it is here at the cricket or even if it is down at the beach or something. If it is something that I can help with and someone needs help, then it is something I\u2019ll be hand up for. That\u2019s just the person that I am,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing that has been embedded in me since a young age is that I grew up in a housing commission. As a kid, I had to do everything at home with my brother just because my parents worked all the time. So whether it was dishes, ironing – all the normal things you do at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce I was able to go and work, I went and worked because we needed that money coming in to pay the bills. Me and my brother both paid a bit of rent when we were younger and I just liked looking out for anyone who (was) close to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking about his role in resolving pay dispute he said that it was important to take a stand and that is what he did.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the dispute, it was a tough situation, you had your employers who were going up against our union and the players. So, I thought I needed to have a stance somewhere because at the end of the day, I want to play cricket for my country but for us to get a result or something in the middle – a happy medium – we had to fight for that. I am a believer in what I believe in. So, that was our belief, to get what we wanted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
