Warner has been named in a 14-man squad alongside recalled fast bowler Lance Morris for the series against Pakistan,which begins in Perth later this month.
“It’s been five years and David Warner has still never really owned the ball-tampering scandal. Now the way he is going out is underpinned by more of the same arrogance and disrespect to our country,” Johnson wrote.
“As we prepare for David Warner’s farewell series,can somebody please tell me why?
“Why a struggling Test opener gets to nominate his own retirement date. And why a player at the centre of one of the biggest scandals in Australian cricket history warrants a hero’s send-off?
“Warner certainly isn’t Australia’s Test captain and never deserved to be for that matter. In fact,he ends his career under a lifetime leadership ban.
“Yes,he has a decent overall record and some say is one of our greatest opening bats. But his past three years in Test cricket have been ordinary,with a batting average closer to what a tail-ender would be happy with.
