The selectors have decided to rest David Warner for the upcoming five-match series in India following Australia's ICC World Cup triumph in Ahmedabad. Australia defeated the hosts by six wickets in front of nearly 100,000 in Ahmedabad on Sunday to clinch their sixth crown.

The two countries meet again in a T20 series starting on Thursday in Visakhapatnam, but the 37-year-old Warner will not stay on after all. His withdrawal means just seven of Australia's World Cup-winning one-day squad will remain in India for the series, among them Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell and Steve Smith.
