Cricket Australia has sensationally cleared David Warner to hold leadership positions again. Warner was slapped with a lifetime leadership ban in the wake of the 2018 sandpaper scandal. The suspension had been the last remaining sanction in place from the “Sandpapergate” saga, of which Warner was considered the architect. But the 37-year-old has been cleared to return to a leadership role after appearing before a three-member panel earlier this month.
“Mr Warner’s conduct and behaviour since the imposition of the sanction has been excellent and he appears to have made a substantial change, one example of which is that he no longer sledges or tries to provoke the opposing team. “The Review Panel is more than satisfied that Mr Warner will not engage in any conduct similar to that which occurred in 2018 which resulted in the sanction and that the sanction has thus had the relevant quality of specific deterrence.
