David Warner discloses massive career regret and it involves the Indian cricket team

Australia's dynamite opening batsman David Warner has established himself as a mainstay in his national side with stunning performances across formats over the years. The southpaw often sets the tone of the match with his aggressive intent at the top of the order and has emerged as a proven match-winner. The 34-year-old, who is all set to make his return to competitive cricket after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, recently revealed a major regret of his cricketing career. 

David Warner regrets playing Test series against India 

The star opener suffered a groin injury during the limited-overs series against India and was forced to miss the first two Test matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy because of the same. The David Warner injury was a major setback for the Tim Paine-led side and the Australian think tank had to incorporate a number of changes because of his absence. The southpaw returned to the side for the final two fixtures of the series and has not featured in a game since the Gabba Test match. The player is all set to represent the New South Wales side in their upcoming Marsh One-Day Cup encounter against South Australia on Monday.

Before flying to Adelaide for the clash, Warner spoke to reporters at the Sydney Airport. The left-hander mentioned that he played the final two Test matches of the India series because he wanted to be with the team and help them in the crucial contests. However, he revealed that it was probably not the right decision considering his groin injury. He also added that if he would have decided against returning early if he would have thought just about himself.
