Australian opener David Warner believes he should be fine to play in next week's fourth Test in Adelaide against India despite some worrying dizzy spells.
The explosive left-hander was hit in the head during his stunning 180 in Australia's first innings against the Indians in Perth last week and has suffered moments of grogginess in the past few days.
But the 25-year-old is confident he will be fine to line up at the Adelaide Oval when the fourth Test begins on Tuesday.
"I think I'm over it," Warner told reporters on Wednesday.
"It's a day-by-day thing. I've got to speak to Alex (Kountouris, physiotherapist) about how I'm feeling.
"At the moment, I feel quite fine."
Warner missed the Sydney Thunder's loss to the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League on Tuesday night due to the dizziness, meaning he only lined up once for the franchise this summer.
Despite barely playing in the domestic Twenty20 competition, Warner has emerged as a possible captain of Australia's T20 team with current skipper Cameron White struggling throughout the summer.
But Warner said he backed White to line up when the first Twenty20 international is played at Sydney's Olympic stadium in Sydney on February 1.
"Cameron's a world-class player. We've seen many times with Cameron that he can come out and fire," he said.
"With Cameron's ability to clear the fences with the bat, we're backing him 100 per cent."
