Downing Centre Local Court: The future of David Warner as captain of Sydney Thunder has reportedly come under scrutiny after the veteran opener was charged with a drink-driving offence in Sydney.

Warner, one of Australia’s most accomplished batters, was stopped in the city’s eastern suburbs on Easter Sunday, where he is alleged to have recorded a blood alcohol level of 0.104, more than twice the legal limit.

The 39-year-old batter, who stepped away from Test cricket in 2024, was subsequently taken to Maroubra Police Station for further testing. He is scheduled to appear before the Downing Centre Local Court on May 7.
