Association Lisa Sthalekar: Cricket Australia (CA) has announced that former left-handed opener David Warner has been cleared to take up leadership roles in Australian cricket with immediate effect.

In its statement, CA said an independent three-member Review Panel determined that Warner had met the necessary criteria to have the ban lifted. The hearing took place earlier this month after Warner lodged an application in 2022 to have the lifetime leadership ban imposed in 2018, after the sandpaper scandal in Cape Town.

Australia Test captain Pat Cummins, head coach Andrew McDonald, New Zealand batter Kane Williamson, former men’s cricketer Greg Chappell, ex-women’s captain and current President of World Cricketers’ Association Lisa Sthalekar were among those to submit written character references in the hearing.
