Warner also spoke about Axar Patel‘s role as vice-captain in the side.
“Axar will have great knowledge about all the players in the squad. He’ll be in control of relaying information to the bowlers and also help me deal with the language barrier.”
The opening batter expressed that the home ground advantage will be a huge factor this season with the tournament returning to the home and away format for the first time since 2019.
“You get to understand the wicket at your home ground and you’ve also got your fans, who give you a boost.
“The fans’ chants in the stadium will give us great strength and belief to play at our best,” Warner added.
