Australian sporting legend David Warner enjoyed a full-circle moment when his daughter Ivy began training for the South East cricket team in Sydney this week.
Warner, 37, played for the best local players in his age group as a youngster and went on to enjoy a successful career in the top-flight game.
Now it’s Ivy’s turn. This young man is also considered an extremely talented tennis player and football player.
She is expected to play for the South Eastern Academy first girls’ team this summer.
Monday to Instagram, Warner uploaded a photo of himself as a child in the same sportswear alongside Ivy, declaring: ‘I absolutely love this. It makes me laugh 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 lot of great people there, a great coach … and I’ve always been a part of the Thunder,” Warner said.
‘Last year I really liked the atmosphere, the group we had brought a lot of energy.
