David Warner is currently captaining Karachi Kings in PSL 2026.
Former Australia cricketer David Warner has been charged with drink driving in Sydney. Warner reported to the police that he had three glasses of wine while out with a friend before attempting to return to his Maroubra home by car.
As per reports, the police alleged that a 39-year-old man stopped his van just before a random breath testing site on Malabar Road in Maroubra in Sydney's eastern suburbs about 5.30 pm on Sunday.
When a random breathalyzer test revealed a positive result for alcohol, he was apprehended by the authorities. Warner's blood alcohol content was reportedly 0.104—more than twice the legal limit—when he was transported from the scene to the Maroubra police station.
The former Australian cricket player will appear before the Downing Centre Local Court on May 7 after being charged with a mid-range drunk driving crime. If convicted, the charge could have implications for Warner's commercial engagements and professional commitments.
The latest discovery adds to the already high-profile case involving the former Australian cricketer, who remains active in franchise cricket despite retiring from international duty in 2024.
Warner is now captaining the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026, and he briefly came to Australia during a break in the competition.
Warner played 112 Test matches for Australia since making his debut in 2011 before retiring from all international cricket in 2024. Warner, an opening batsman, hit 26 hundreds and 37 half-centuries while averaging 44.59 runs in the Test arena.
David Warner was part of the Australian side that won the ICC World Cups in 2015 and 2023, the T20 World Cup in 2021, and the World Test Championship in 2023 as well.
