Rashid and Warner share a very good camaraderie. The duo play for the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise in the Indian Premier League.
Cricket Australia had imposed a one-year ban on Warner for his involvement in the ball-tampering plot at Newlands in March. Besides Warner, CA had also issued severe punishments on former Australia captain Steve Smith and rookie opener Cameron Bancroft. While Smith was suspended for 12 months, Bancroft was barred from international cricket for a period of 9-month.
It is worth mentioning here that Warner and Smith had lost their million dollars deal in IPL 2018 for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals respectively. The BCCI had barred them from participating in the cash-rich event following Cricket Australia’s harsh sanctions.
