David Warner, former Test opener and Sydney Thunder captain, has pleaded guilty to drink-driving after blowing 0.104 — double the legal limit — on Easter Sunday. Police pulled him over in Sydney’s east after he’d consumed three glasses of wine, with his last drink just 11 minutes before the stop. His lawyer confirmed Warner admits his actions were reckless and foolish, and while he’s remorseful and seeking leniency, he understands the consequences will be the same as any other citizen. Sentencing is set for August 18. This marks another major controversy for Warner, who was also banned from leadership roles after the 2018 ball-tampering scandal. Cricket NSW has condemned the incident, reaffirming their commitment to safe driving and zero tolerance for such behavior.
