Police said Warner returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.104, more than twice Australia’s legal limit, after a roadside test.

  • On Sunday, Australian cricket great David Warner was charged with drink driving after failing a random breath test in Maroubra, Sydney, where police allege the 39-year-old stopped his vehicle before reaching the testing site.
  • Officers arrested Warner and took him to Maroubra Police Station, where he returned a breath test result of 0.104; the cricketer faces court next month.
  • Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024, captains the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League and competes in the Pakistan Super League T20.
  • During the recent season, Warner scored 433 runs in eight innings at a league-high average of 86.6 and recorded two centuries, including an unbeaten 110 against the Sixers in the Sydney Smash.
  • Contracted for BBL16, Warner will return next season at 40 years of age, having recently stated he has 'plenty more to give' to the team after a challenging year.
