David Warner has joined Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft in accepting Cricket Australia’s sanctions for his role in the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal.
Warner, like his teammates both did yesterday, took to social media to confirm he’s accepted his lengthy suspension from international and Australian domestic cricket.
I have today let Cricket Australia know that I fully accept the sanctions imposed on me. I am truly sorry for my actions and will now do everything I can to be a better person, teammate and role model.

“I have today let Cricket Australia know that I fully accept the sanctions imposed on me,” Warner tweeted on Thursday afternoon (AEST).
“I am truly sorry for my actions and will now do everything I can to be a better person, teammate and role model.”
It means Warner will not play for Australia for the next 12 months and is also precluded for NSW during the period.
He has been banned from holding any leadership role within the national team for the remainder of his playing career.
The opener is however free to play Premier Cricket as well in overseas domestic competitions, subject to Cricket Australia granting him a No Objection Certificate.
