Former Australian cricketer Mitchell Johnson has been ousted from his commentary role for the Pakistan vs Australia Test series following a heated exchange with David Warner. The controversy escalated when Johnson, known for his fiery personality on and off the field, criticized Warner publicly, leading to his removal from the commentary team.
The feud between Johnson and Warner gained attention due to Mitchell Johnson’s personal remarks against Warner. While the exact nature of the criticism remains undisclosed, reports suggest it was a “quite personal” matter. This prompted Triple M, the broadcasting network, to take action and remove Johnson from his commentary duties ahead of the first Test between Pakistan and Australia.
Amid the controversy, Usman Khawaja, another Australian cricketer, came to the defense of David Warner, referring to him as a “hero” and labeling Johnson’s criticism as harsh. The situation took an unexpected turn as Johnson found himself at odds not only with Warner but also facing consequences in the media industry.
