Warner may quit IPL to focus on Tests

"I Pinch myself every day that I'm opening the batting for Australia in Test matches, especially on an occasion like this at the Sydney Cricket Ground. And from now until I retire, I want to focus on Test cricket as much as I can, because that's the way forward for me," Warner wrote in a column for Herald Sun.

"I started off playing Twenty20 and it was fantastic - I still love playing for my country in that format. But in the future I may need to weigh up my options and at the very least, consider how much longer I play in the IPL for.

"I'll play in the IPL this year, but the schedule is so hard for us to play and there's six weeks you could have off," he added.

The 28-year-old burly cricketer said he doesn't want to burn out playing too much cricket as the next five years of his career will be crucial.

"We've got a long 18 months ahead and I need to have a clear mind about where I want to go for the next five years right through to the end of my career," he wrote.
