Root and Warner will meet in The Hundred at Lord’s on Thursday when the Englishman’s Trent Rockets travel to play London Spirit.
Asked if he will respond to Warner’s jibes on the field, Root said: “I don’t think so.
“I guess it is all part of the fun, right? We will see what happens but it is not really in my nature to get too verbal.”
While Root has never scored a century or won a Test in Australia, he has scored nine fifties and averages 35.68 – a respectable record although well below his career average of 51.29.
This summer he scored 537 runs in five Tests against India and moved up to second in the all-time Test run-scorers list behind only India legend Sachin Tendulkar.
“Having played in Australia a couple of times before, now going with 150-odd Test caps under my belt, I feel I couldn’t be more ready for it,” said Root.
“The thing that stands out for me is I probably wanted it [a century] way too much the last couple of times. It took me away from what was important.”
Root added that there were “loads of other things to contend with” on the past two Ashes tours in Australia in 2021-22 and 2017-18, both of which the hosts won 4-0.
“There were a lot of distractions,” said Root.
“I was captain, Covid [during the 2021-22 defeat], there was the Stokes incident the time before that, the Jonny [Bairstow] headbutt incident as well.
“This time I want to just go and enjoy the tour for what it is. It is a beautiful country it is a great place to go and play cricket.
“I know if I put my best performances in then everything else will look after itself.”
