Ex-Australia cricketer David Warner admitted his decision to drive after drinking was a foolish mistake, his lawyer confirmed. The 39-year-old, who retired from international cricket in 2024, faces charges after returning a positive breath test in Maroubra, Sydney. His legal team stated he “accepts responsibility” for choosing to drive instead of using a ride-hailing service, calling it a reckless plan.

Warner, currently captain of Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League and Sydney Thunder in Australia’s Big Bash League, had consumed three glasses of wine at a friend’s apartment before the incident.
