Police confirmed that 39-year-old Warner (Ex-Australia Batter) was arrested on Sunday after returning a positive result following a random breath test in Maroubra in east Sydney. Warner recorded a second positive test at a police station, which was reported at more than twice the legal blood alcohol concentration limit permitted in New South Wales.
“He was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station, where a second test allegedly returned a reading of 0.104.” Warner has been charged with a mid-range prescribed concentration of alcohol, which applies to drivers in New South Wales with a blood alcohol concentration between 0.08 and 0.149. He will appear in court on 7 May.
Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024, is currently the captain of Pakistan Super League side Karachi Kings. Their next match is against Peshawar Zalmi on 9 April.
