Might be the last time we see Warner at SRH: Steyn

New Delhi, May 3 : South African fast bowling great Dale Steyn said that David Warners days with Indian Premier League (IPL) team SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) may be coming to an end after he was removed as captain and dropped from the team for their match against Rajasthan Royals.

"Its strange that he isnt a part of the playing eleven.

Its understandable if they want to change ownership of captaincy for the next season, and keep Kane (Williamson) there.But David is still a phenomenal batter and I would still keep him in the eleven.

But this might be the last time we see Warner in the Orange Army," Steyn told ESPNCricinfo.New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was announced as Warners replacement as SRHs skipper after the team made a dismal start to the season, winning just once in seven matches.

The teams director of cricket Tom Moody said that the decision to drop Warner was keeping in mind the team composition, but also said that the Australian opening batsman was "shocked" and "disappointed".Warner had earlier questioned the teams decision to drop batsman Manish Pandey for their defeat to Delhi Capitals on April 25.Pandey opened the innings on Sunday in place of Warner."I dont know if David may have questioned some of the decisions, maybe when Manish Pandey was left out.Sometimes, the management doesnt appreciate that, I guess.The captain of the team also needs to take ownership of his squad and whos going out on the field.
