Former Australian opener David Warner has been charged with drink-driving after being stopped by police in Sydney over the weekend, local media reported on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old, who continues to play Twenty20 cricket for various franchise leagues worldwide, was allegedly driving a van that stopped short of a random breath-testing site on Sunday.
According to national broadcaster ABC, officers approached the vehicle and conducted a breath test, which returned a positive reading. Warner was arrested and taken to a local police station, where he was formally charged with mid-range drink-driving. He is scheduled to appear in court on 7 May 2026.
Police released a statement outlining the incident without initially naming Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024 after scoring 8,786 runs across 112 Tests.
Warner most recently featured for Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League, playing last week.
