Warner, who played his last Test match against Pakistan in Sydney in January has offered to come out of retirement to help the side if need be but Cummins indicated that the team has moved on.
It has also been learnt that Cummins will continue as skipper of the franchise after the Australian guided the side to the final against Kolkata Knight Riders, earlier this year.
Cummins is currently early in a two-month stretch without bowling having been left out of the limited-overs tour of the UK.
Irrespective of the final outcome, it was a season to remember for SRH. After all they managed to answer all critics with a redefined approach that was initially defined by their choice to go bold during the IPL 2024 auction, and later on the ground by their all-or-nothing brand of cricket
In the second innings on Day 4, Australia were reduced to 80/5, after Travis Head's departure, with 199 still needed for the series win. The duo of Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey stepped up to put together a match-winning stand of 140 runs in 29 overs.
This will be the first time that the Australian pacer will lead a side in the IPL, but his appointment comes after a successful period as captain of Australia, during which he led them to victory in the World Test Championship and the 2023 ODI World Cup, with both wins in the finals coming against India.

"I think Cummins showed real temperament in his captaincy. He changed his bowlers knowing he could put pressure on each India batter even though they were all in such good form. His tactics made all the difference and his planning and execution was perfect."
Cummins, who led Australia to the World Test championships title earlier in the year, also praised the passion in India for the game.
