\nFormer Australian opener David Warner has been charged with drink-driving after he was pulled over in Sydney during the weekend, reports said Tuesday.
\nThe 39-year-old, who still plays Twenty20 cricket for franchises around the world, was allegedly at the wheel of a van that stopped and parked short of a random testing site on Sunday.
\nNational broadcaster ABC said officers approached the vehicle and breath-tested Warner, who returned a positive result.
\nHe was arrested and taken to a local police station, where he was charged with mid-range drink driving, ABC and other local media reported. He is due to appear in court on May 7.
\nPolice in a statement outlined the incident but did not name Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024 after racking up 8,786 runs across his 112 Tests.
\nLast year in March, the HBL Pakistan Super League franchise Karachi Kings named him the captain, and this is his second season with the league. According to Cricinfo, Warner was granted permission to return to Australia for a week due to personal reasons during a break in the Kings\u2019 schedule. The Kings last played on April 2, when Warner scored a half-century in a win over Rawalpindi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
