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.

29-year-old Cummins, who guided Australia to a 4-0 Ashes triumph earlier this year, to become the country's 27th ODI captain.
