Former Australia batter David Warner has pleaded guilty to drink driving after being charged following a random breath test in Sydney in April. The plea was expected after his lawyer Bobby Hill said in May that the cricketer accepted responsibility and knew his behaviour had been "foolish" and "reckless".

Warner had drunk three glasses of wine at a friend's apartment before driving on Easter Sunday. Sentencing is set for 18 August, when he faces a minimum six-month driving disqualification, a potential fine of up to A$2,200, and up to nine months in prison.

Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024, currently captains Pakistan Super League side Karachi Kings and the Sydney Thunder. Cricket NSW chief executive Lee Germon called the allegations "concerning" and said the body takes them "very seriously," emphasizing they are "strong advocates for safe driving, not drink-driving."

At the May hearing, Hill said Warner knew his decision was wrong: "He accepts that was a reckless decision, a foolish decision to get in his car instead of taking an Uber." Hill added: "It's not a crime to have a glass of wine on the day of the lord's resurrection... His crime is... choosing a foolish plan A instead of a plan B."
