David Warner: Australian cricket team’s star opener David Warner is withdrawing the application for a review of the lifetime ban on his captaincy. He has said that at the same time, he has also strongly criticized the Independent Review Panel and his Assistant Council. Warner has said that the panel wants to turn the review process into a public spectacle.
Warner said his family would not become a washing machine for cricket’s dirty laundry. He said that despite protests from him and the Australian Cricket Board, the panel and his council had taken it upon themselves to “create an irregular process”.
The Australian opener has shared a long article on Instagram. In this, he has said that the panel has threatened that his family will face even more negativity. According to Warner, the panel has also made derogatory remarks about him.
Family Is More Important Than Cricket For Warner
David Warner has also said that the panel had suggested a public trial of what happened on the third day of their 2018 Cape Town Test match. In such a situation, Warner did not want his family or friends to have more problems. Warner has said in the first line of his post that his family is more important to him than cricket. He does not want to see his family further humiliated in such a situation.

During the 2018 Cape Town Test match, Warner was accused of tampering with the ball. Because of this, his captaincy was banned for life. Steve Smith was also implicated in the case and was banned for one year. Along with these two, Cameron Bancroft was also denied. Warner and Cameron were caught on camera doing ball tempering.
Warner Will No Longer Be Seen As Captain
Cricket Australia changed its code of conduct, after which Warner could appeal his captaincy ban for life. However, his experience has been very bad. He has made up his mind to withdraw his application; in such a situation, it seems that he will never be able to lead his team again.
Warner wrote in his post, ‘I am not at all ready for my family to become a washing machine for the dirty laundries of cricket.’ He has claimed that the panel was working against the code of conduct of the Australian Board. The lawyer also asked many such questions and answers, which were aggressive and not even fair.
