Cricket New South Wales (NSW) said on Wednesday it would support David Warner after he was charged with\u00a0drink-driving, adding that the former Australian opener was aware of the “seriousness” of the incident.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old Sydney Thunder captain is due to appear in court on May 7 after allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit in a random breath test in Sydney over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Cricket NSW, which has a long-term partnership with government agency Transport for NSW, said it was committed to educating Warner “on the importance of safe driving”.<\/p>\n
“Cricket NSW is a strong advocate of safe driving, including avoiding drink-driving, and takes incidents of this nature very seriously,” chief executive Lee Germon told\u00a0cricket.com.au.<\/p>\n
“David is aware of the seriousness of these allegations. We will support him through the upcoming process.”<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Sydney Daily Telegraph\u00a0said Warner allegedly told police he had three glasses of wine at a friend’s house before attempting to drive back to his home.<\/p>\n
Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024, is reportedly on his way back to Pakistan to complete his Pakistan Super League campaign with Karachi Kings, who he captains.<\/p>\n
They are scheduled to play on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
