David Warner pleaded guilty to a drink-driving charge with a blood alcohol reading of 0.104 on April 5.

The incident has raised doubts about his role as Sydney Thunder captain amid serious concerns from Cricket NSW.

Warner consumed three glasses of wine before driving and expressed remorse ahead of his sentencing on August 18.

The 39-year-old has a complex history, including a 12-month ban for ball tampering that ended in 2024.

At Cricket NSW, we are strong advocates for safe driving, not drink-driving.
— Lee Germon, Cricket NSW chief executive, commenting on the organization's stance after Warner's arrest for drink-driving
