“The next six months won’t really be much different than what we’re used to,” he said. The Daily Telegraph.

David first shocked the sporting world by announcing his retirement from Test and One Day International cricket in June last year.
And last month, he made the emotional decision to retire from one-day international cricket in the run-up to his final Test match.
David scored a winning 57 runs in his final innings to help Australia secure victory at the SCG and close out a 3-0 series victory over Pakistan to give him the perfect send-off to red-ball cricket.
The veteran said he felt “comfortable” that it was the right time to conclude his ODI career, also after Australia’s World Cup triumph in India late last year.
He noted the decision would create opportunities to play franchise cricket abroad and will not rule out a return if Australia needs an ICC Champions Trophy opener in 2025.
“It was a decision that I felt very, very comfortable with. Winning in India, where we were, was absolutely incredible,” he said.
“The team, not only under Patty’s leadership but also under coach Andrew McDonald, everything is very calm and relaxed within the team.

‘We go out, we’re adults, we support each other to train the best we can and then we go out and play. There’s never any extra pressure, it’s the same old thing: go in, do what you have to do. We love to win.
“When we lost two games in a row in India, the bond between us became stronger and it is no accident or fluke that we were able to get to where we were.
“Maxi’s heroics, the captaincy and the skills and execution of the way we played against India was phenomenal, and the semi-final in Kolkata should not be ruled out as well.”
“I know the Champions Trophy is coming up… if I play decent cricket in two years’ time and if they need someone, I will be available,” he added.
