David Warner won\u2019t need to fight for his Test place in Sheffield Shield ranks before the first Test against Pakistan, effectively clearing the way for the opener to play in a farewell series at home this summer.<\/p>\n

By being chosen, alongside Steve Smith, for the Twenty20 series against India that follows the ODI World Cup, Warner will be unavailable for all the Shield rounds played prior to the Pakistan Tests.<\/p>\n

And though the national selectors have been at pains to say they do not pick the Test team based on limited-overs matches, Warner\u2019s prolific scoring at the current tournament has provided the clearest possible sign he is seeing the ball clearly, whatever its colour.<\/p>\n

Warner\u2019s former opening partner, Victoria coach Chris Rogers, told this masthead that at their level of experience, it was fair not to expect Warner or Smith to have to front up for domestic first-class matches before the first Test in familiar home conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re talking about players who\u2019ve played the amount of cricket they have, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s an issue any more really,\u201d Rogers said after Victoria\u2019s 205-run win over an abject New South Wales at the MCG.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime in the middle is time in the middle, they probably can go up and down the gears now a lot better than younger players can when it comes to the different formats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere haven\u2019t been too many Australian summers where Davey hasn\u2019t had some good success, if any at all. I\u2019m pretty sure they weighed all that up and decided to go down that path, so I don\u2019t think that\u2019s much of an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Warner and Smith, Usman Khawaja has also been trusted to prepare as he thinks best in recent weeks, missing two Shield matches for Queensland in favour of time at home after a long and draining year of Test match assignments.<\/p>\n

That trio, alongside Nathan Lyon, had featured in a promotional advert for the summer by the free-to-air broadcaster Seven that talked up the Pakistan series as the last chance to see them all play together. Warner aside, however, each of Smith, Khawaja and Lyon are eager to continue on beyond this home season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can definitely say I won\u2019t be playing that West Indies series,\u201d Warner had said before the Ashes series. \u201cIf I get through this and I can make the Pakistan series I\u2019ll definitely finish up. I\u2019ve always played every game as if it\u2019s my last. It\u2019s my style of cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s leaders have been discussing matters of transition for some time, with Victoria home to several of the key players identified for the future.<\/p>\n

Marcus Harris and Queensland\u2019s Matt Renshaw have long been seen as the most obvious candidates to replace Warner. Will Pucovksi, too, is highly regarded, although he is still working at returning to consistent cricket after a series of mental health struggles. Pucovski has played two of three Shield games so far this season.<\/p>\n

Rogers, who watched Pucovski make some of the hard first-day runs that helped set up Victoria\u2019s defeat of the Blues, said that all those around the young batter were accepting of the fact that his progression will not always be linear.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been doing a mountain of work on his issues with a lot of support throughout his last summer where he had time off. And he went and played club cricket in England, and things were tracking really smoothly,\u201d Rogers said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came with us to Perth, he was really positive and I think everyone was really positive about it, and then it didn\u2019t go the way he wanted. The first reaction was \u2018oh no, here we go again\u2019, but the thing with him and particularly the view from the medical support was that it\u2019s OK to have a little setback.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not going to be zero to 100, we\u2019re going to continue to work through these issues with him, but even in the last fortnight there\u2019s been some good stuff he\u2019s done and I think he got through this game, really, really well. Hopefully he can back it up in our next game against Tasmania.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSW, meanwhile, looked to be a team struggling for collective purpose as they staggered to a second consecutive hiding. It has now been 15 Shield games since the most successful team in Australian domestic cricket won a game.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of that is down to some of us experienced players not leading the way,\u201d captain Moises Henriques said. \u201cI had a pretty mediocre season last year and in red ball I haven\u2019t started well either.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when you\u2019re looking at a whole team perspective from my point of view as captain, I\u2019ve got to look internally first and go \u2018what am I doing, what can I change, what can I do better\u2019, and ask the rest of the players to do the exact same thing. If people think they\u2019re bringing everything, then so be it, but we\u2019ve got to keep learning as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n
