As for Warner’s inclusion, the news was further confirmed by Cricket Australia’s (CA) Chairman of Selectors, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Mark-Jefferson-Hilditch-c44498, who comprehended that Warner will be a vital addition to the national Test squad, especially under the batting department, having

where the side lost all its players at a disappointing total of 47 runs.
“I think with Davey Warner, he can bat anywhere in the top six, so find him a spot. I don't want to discuss who he might replace, but he's got a great deal of skill. He's a brilliant fielder and also bowls some leg spin, there's a lot of assets there that
history proves to be very good,” said Chappell.
Known for his hard-hitting skills, Warner has already earned an international limited-overs profile with the Aussies, and has played 10 One Day International (ODI) matches and 29 Twenty20s (T20), since his debut in January 2009, scoring 210 and 775 runs
respectively.
