‘It’ll be an interesting read’: David Warner promises his autobiography will raise eyebrows | Cricket News

David Warner has announced that he will release his autobiography with a promise that it will raise many eyeballs.In an interview with Adam Gilchr and former England captain Michael Vaughan on their Prairie Club Fire podcast, Warner said his book will be an “interesting read.”
“There’s definitely one in the pipeline and I think it’ll be an interesting read,” said Warner.
“There’s going to be a lot of things in that book that I think are going to raise some eyebrows.
“I’ll have to edit a few chapters now, there’s a few more that have been added. It was 1500 pages, now it’s probably 2000,” he said.
Sandpaper-gate controversy
Warner has also announced that the sandpaper-gate controversy will be well documented in his book. “It’s something that’s been thought of,” said Warner.
“I think you look down the track now, where we are today, it is in the past and it does keep getting brought up.
“There has been a lot of speculation, a lot of comments about it – but from me, it’s about this team moving forward.
“It’s really important that the Australian cricket team is in a great space, that we’re playing well in all three formats, and I think that’s the utmost priority.

“My side of the story and all that, that can be told whenever. There are probably going to be some things that are in the book that are definitely going to be related to 2018.
“It’s not potentially going to be around what I know, what others know, because then it just becomes a tit-for-tat, right?
“It’s not that kind of story. I want it to be about my journey, my upbringing, and there are going to be a few things in there — you’ve got the Joe Root saga, when I went back to Zimbabwe, there are so many things in there, a lot of stories in there.
“It’ll be an interesting read when the time comes, we can all pick it to pieces.”
The 37-year-old ended his Test and ODI career but has said, he will continue to play in the T20 cricket for the foreseeable future.
Next opener?
Warner has also opened up about the candidates who can replace him as an opener. Warner has endorsed Marcus Harris to replace him as an opener but thinks Steve Smith could also adapt to the new position.
“It’s a tough one, you had Cameron Bancroft come out the other day and talk about a traditional, I’ve spoken about myself never opening and then making my way into that position,” he said.
“I think (Smith) would go well, he is the best Test batsman in the world, he just finds a way.
“It’s probably the challenge of it which I think he probably wants to get into.
“He’s ticked the box off where he is now … he probably just wants to see if he can go out and open. He’ll adapt to any situation … he’ll do very, very well.”
