Australian coach keeps options open for Warner's successor

Australia's head coach, Andrew McDonald, has said that the replacement of veteran opener David Warner remains open-ended as they prepare for their final Test series against Pakistan. Warner, who is seeking a Test farewell, has his spot secured for the first Test, but McDonald said the opening position is subject to continuous evaluation. McDonald confirmed Warner's participation in the first Test and acknowledged that options include Matthew Renshaw, Cameron Bancroft, and Marcus Harris, who are front-runners for the opening slot due to their notable performances in Shield cricket.
