Former Australian batter David Warner could be back in the leadership role after his lifetime leadership ban was lifted on Friday.
The ban was imposed the Cricket Australia for his role in famous ball-tampering scandal in 2018.
His plea against the ban was heard by a three-person panel, who found him eligible to lead again.
They found unanimously that Warner met all criteria to have the ban lifted immediately, noting his “respectful and contrite tone” and that he acknowledged responsibility for his conduct.
David Warner retired from international cricket last year.
The decision opens the door for a leadership role at his Big Bash League club Sydney Thunder.
“I am pleased David has chosen to have his sanction reviewed and that he will be eligible to take up leadership positions in Australian cricket this summer,” said Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley.
Warner was cast as the key villain in the so-called “Sandpaper-gate” scandal in Cape Town in 2018, having conspired with then-skipper Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft to illegally alter the surface of the ball.
