"Each individual who will be appearing in the Under-19 World Cup in 2012 needs to have goals of returning here for the World Cup 2015 because if you’re good enough to be where you’re today, you have to be good enough to be in that squad in 2015," said Warner .
Warner himself played in the 2006 edition held in Sri Lanka, where he scored 91 runs from three outings at an average of 30.33. He scored a fifty in the tournament while playing as a middle-order batsman.
