Cricket Australia Lifts David Warner's Lifetime Leadership Ban
Warner, previously banned for his role in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, is now eligible for leadership roles following a panel's unanimous decision.
- David Warner's lifetime leadership ban, imposed after the 2018 'Sandpapergate' scandal, has been lifted by Cricket Australia.
- An independent review panel found Warner met all criteria for the ban's removal, citing his remorse and behavioral change.
- Warner can now assume leadership roles, including potentially captaining the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League.
- The decision comes after Warner provided references from prominent cricket figures, including Pat Cummins and Kane Williamson.
- Despite the ban lift, Warner's offer to return to the Australian Test side has been dismissed by selectors.
