“Warner will require a brief recovery period which is not expected to affect his availability for the upcoming Indian Premier League leading to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup,” Cricket Australia said in a statement.
Warner had also sat out the second T20I as part of Australia’s rotation strategy. He will quit the shortest format after the conclusion of the T20 World Cup in June this year.
Warner had captained Delhi Capitals last year following Rishabh Pant’s horrific accident and emerged as the highest run-scorer for the team with 516 runs, including six fifties.
He was booed off the ground by the Kiwi supporters after scoring 32 in 20 balls in the opening T20 game against New Zealand in Wellington.
