Ex-Australia batter Warner charged with drink-driving

Former Australia opener David Warner has been charged with drink-driving in Sydney, according to BBC Sport.

The report was published on Tuesday and says the charge relates to a recent police matter in Sydney. No other details were included in the material reviewed, and no contradictory report surfaced in the latest search.

Warner is one of Australia’s most high-profile cricketers of the modern era, making the story a significant off-field development for the former Test opener.

At the time of writing, there was no separate statement from police or from Warner’s representatives in the sources reviewed. More detail may follow if a formal court date or police update is published.

For now, the BBC report is the clearest confirmed account of the charge.
