The lifetime ban from holding leadership positions in Australian cricket imposed on David Warner for his part in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal has been lifted, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Friday.

David Warner 's lifetime leadership ban has been overturned by Cricket Australia following a review by CA's conduct commission which means he is now eligible to captain Sydney Thunder in the upcoming BBL having not been allowed to captain any team in Australia after the ban was imposed following the sandpaper incident in Cape Town in 2018.

David Warner's lifetime leadership ban is lifted by Cricket Australia, leaving him free to captain in domestic cricket.

David Warner’s lifetime captaincy and leadership ban has been lifted by Cricket Australia, a move which could see the retired test player captain the Sydney Thunder in the Twenty20 Big Bash league this season.

Since 7 October the government has committed $94.5m in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and Lebanon and “to respond to the refugee crisis in the region worsened by those conflicts.” Australia has been clear in its call for ceasefires in both Lebanon and in Gaza.

Warner was charged by Cricket Australia with devising a plan to change the condition of the ball using sandpaper during a Test against South Africa.
