- Ivy Warner follows in the footsteps of her famous father
- Selected for the South East Representative Cricket Team
- David Warner posted a photo of a couple wearing the same cricket uniform
Australian sporting legend David Warner enjoyed a full-circle moment after his daughter Ivy began training with the South East representative cricket team in Sydney this week.
Warner, 37, cut his teeth as a youngster with the best local players in his age group before enjoying a decorated first-class career in the sport.
Now it’s Ivy’s turn, who is also said to be an extremely talented tennis player and soccer star.
She is expected to feature in South Eastern’s inaugural Women’s Academy squad this summer.
On Instagram on Monday, Warner posted a photo of himself as a child wearing the same sports uniform as Ivy and said: “I love it. It makes me smile so much.”
This comes after the explosive batsman signed a two-year contract with the Sydney Thunder earlier this month ahead of the 14th edition of the Big Bash.
“There’s a great group of people there, a great coach… and I’ve always been a part of the Thunder,” Warner said.
‘I really liked the atmosphere last year, the group we had brought a lot of energy.

David Warner currently plays in the Cayman Islands for the Boca Raton Trailblazers in the MAX60 T10 league.
Warner is the star player of the Florida-based team, which is made up of international and local talents.
Just seven months ago, Warner scored a half-century in his last Test at the SCG against Pakistan.
‘We have a lot of fun on the field and off the field we get along really well… I think we can improve a couple of steps and play some good cricket.
“We have a lot of talent in the team and a good group of youngsters too, so hopefully that will help us go further.”
Warner has featured in 10 games for the Thunder since his Big Bash debut in 2011.
He will be joined in lime green by the likes of England wicket-keeper Sam Billings, fellow former Test opener Cameron Bancroft and rising star Ollie Davies.
After retiring from Test action seven months ago, the fearless former Australian opener is officially a cricket gun for hire.
Warner currently plays for the Boca Raton Trailblazers in a T10 league in the Cayman Islands called MAX60.
Once he completes his commitments with the Sydney Thunder in January, Warner will join the Dubai Capitals for ILT20 in the UAE.
