SYDNEY : Former Australia batter David Warner has been charged by police over an alleged drink-driving incident in Sydney, Cricket NSW said on Wednesday.
Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024 after playing 112 Tests, 161 one-day internationals and 110 Twenty20 matches, continues to feature in domestic and franchise T20 competitions around the world.
The 37-year-old is currently captaining Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League and had reportedly returned to Australia on leave to spend Easter with his family.
“Cricket NSW is a strong advocate for safe driving, including avoiding drink driving, and takes incidents of this nature very seriously,” chief executive Lee Germon said in a statement.
“David is aware of the seriousness of these allegations. We will support him through the upcoming process and work together on further educating him and all players on the importance of safe driving.”
Local media reported Warner was found to be more than twice over the legal blood alcohol limit. He is due to appear in court in Sydney on May 7.
