David Warner likely to be sacked as Sydney Thunder captain after drink-driving charge ...Middle East

Midway through the PSL, David Warner went back to Australia to spend some time with family. However, that turned out to be problematic for the Southpaw, as he was caught due to the drink and drive case. The Southpaw was charged by police after allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit in a random breath test.

Especially considering Warner's leadership role with the Sydney Thunder and the franchise’s long history of supporting road safety programs. Cricket NSW chief executive Lee Germon respected the magnitude of the situation, but he refused to speak further due to pending legal processes.

I can't say too much- Lee Germon

"At Cricket NSW, we are strong advocates for safe driving, not drink-driving. We educate our players a lot in that area and we will support David through this process, knowing there's a court case coming up, but also look to educate our players even more on this really important matter," he added.

David Warner was appointed as the captain back in 2018 after his ban for ball-tampering was lifted. Though, as per recent situations, the captaincy will be reviewed thoroughly, with the governing body set to decide on the matter.
