David Warner Charged With Drink-Driving in Sydney

A May 7 court date is set, which leaves his Pakistan Super League captaincy commitments in place for now.

Overview

  • NSW Police say Warner failed a random breath test in Maroubra on Sunday, then recorded 0.104 at the station and was charged with a middle‑range alcohol offence.
  • He received a Field Court Attendance Notice to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on May 7.
  • Reports indicate the timing means he is expected to rejoin Karachi Kings for Thursday’s match and remain available through the PSL final on May 3.
  • The legal blood‑alcohol limit for fully licensed drivers in New South Wales is 0.05, and a 0.104 reading falls into the state’s middle‑range category of offences.
  • Cricket NSW said it takes drink‑driving incidents very seriously and will support Warner as the legal process unfolds.
