David Warner charged with drink driving in Sydney

Australian cricket great David Warner has reportedly been charged with drink driving in Sydney.

New South Wales police confirmed that a 39-year-old was pulled over on Sunday night in Maroubra, Sydney during a random breath test.

The breath test came back with a positive result before a second test at the police station also came back positive.

A statement from New South Wales Police read: "About 5:30pm today [April 5] police were conducting stationary random breath testing on Malabar Road, Maroubra.

"A van was seen to allegedly stop short of the testing site and park.

"Officers attached to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command approached the vehicle and subjected the driver - a 39-year-old man - to roadside testing which returned a positive result.

"He was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station where a second test allegedly returned a reading of 0.104."

Warner is due to attend court on May 7 to answer charges of a 'middle-range' prescribed concentration of alcohol (PCA) offence, with the final of the PSL taking place on May 3 in Lahore.

Warner, a long-term Ashes antagonist to England, retired from international cricket in 2024 but continues to play on the franchise circuit and is currently captaining Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League.

It had been reported that the he had been granted time at home over Easter but would be rejoining his team ahead of their game against Peshawar Zalmi on Thursday. It is not clear if he is now set to take part in that fixture.
