Warner disappointed at ODI treatment

David Warner has revealed his frustration at the lack of communication from Australia's selectors after he was axed from the one-day team in February. Warner was dropped six matches into his ODI career and was told of the decision by the selector Jamie Cox in the dressing-room before a game against New Zealand in Sydney.

"Jamie Cox said to me, 'You are not playing in the next game, and you're not coming to Brisbane. You can call me and talk about it if you want'," Warner told the Sydney Morning Herald. "I was a bit disappointed. I thought, 'Well it's your job to call me about it'.

"Which was disappointing [not hearing from the selectors]. Obviously, I know what the reasons were. I've got to at least put a good performance in every three innings. If you're not going to do that, then you are obviously going to get dropped. My goal is to be a bit more consistent this season. You know, I've got to work on that."

Warner has played one ODI since his axing, when he turned out against Scotland in Edinburgh last month and made a duck. His only innings of note in seven one-day internationals was an entertaining 69 against South Africa at the SCG.

He remains in Australia's Twenty20 side and will be keen to impress during the Champions League Twenty20 in India, when he will line up for New South Wales in a squad that features 10 international players. Warner has played only one first-class match and hopes to break into the Sheffield Shield side more regularly this summer to help his chance of playing more games for Australia.

"I want to get into the four-day stuff," Warner said. "Hopefully, I get that opportunity this season. I might not start, obviously, because we've got a full-strength team. I've just got to keep on scoring runs, putting runs on the board and things take care of itself."
