Digital Desk: David Warner, the legendary opener for Australia and the former vice-captain, could miss the Big Bash League season in Australia if Cricket Australia's leadership ban is not lifted.
Recently, Warner's partner Candice spoke on the matter with Dan, Richard, and Candice at Triple M's Deadset Legends."
Yes, the ban bothered me because I don't like injustice, "she said.
However, that doesn't really bother him because he can go captain in India or the UAE, where fans value his cricket knowledge and what he can provide to a side.
Candice also stated that the final decision to play in the Australian T20 league this summer will be made by the family in the near future.
"We discuss what's best for the family at this time when deciding whether or not to have him play in the Big Bash, regardless of whether the suspension is lifted. Additionally, there is another league playing in the UAE that is financially considerably better. Lifting Dave's suspension is important, but it's also important for our family's well-being. And Dave has just come to terms with his current ban."
Following the Sandpapergate scandal on the Australian tour of South Africa in 2018, Cricket Australia gave Warner a one-year suspension from the sport and a lifetime leadership ban.
Although Steve Smith's selection as vice-captain under Pat Cummins, Warner has not been given any leadership responsibilities in Australia because of the ban. Smith was the then-captain of Australia.
Cummins himself had said, "(Warner) is a fantastic leader around our squad here, he had stated. He would be great in any official capacity as well. So he would be fantastic if that ever came up."
Todd Greenberg, the head of the Australian Cricketers' Association, had stated publicly last year that he welcomed a conversation with Cricket Australia about revoking Warner's suspension. On the other hand, Nick Cummins, the head of Victorian Cricket, on the other hand, had said that CA had no power to prevent BBL clubs or the state teams from selecting the southpaw as their captain.
