Former Australian cricketer David Warner faced legal issues as he was charged with drink driving in Maroubra. The 39-year-old was found over the legal alcohol limit during a routine breath test. Warner was arrested, taken into custody, and is set to appear in court next month.
The police statement revealed that Warner’s blood alcohol reading was 0.104. He was stopped by officers during a random breath testing operation and subsequently taken to Maroubra Police Station. Warner was issued a Field Court Attendance Notice and is scheduled to appear in court on May 7, 2026.
Despite retiring from international cricket in 2024, Warner has been actively participating in franchise cricket. He is currently captaining Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League 2026. Warner had briefly returned to Australia between matches when the incident occurred.
Known for his explosive batting, Warner has been a key player in domestic T20 leagues like the Big Bash League. Recently, he excelled with Sydney Thunder, emerging as the top run-scorer in the tournament with 433 runs in eight matches, surpassing his teammates.
Karachi Kings, Warner’s PSL team, is performing well and stands second in the points table with three consecutive wins. They are gearing up to face Peshawar Zalmi on April 9 at the National Stadium in Karachi.
