Overview
- Warner's case was first mentioned in a Sydney court on Thursday, where he did not appear or enter a plea as his lawyer said he will accept responsibility and likely plead guilty later.
- Police allege he recorded a 0.104 blood-alcohol reading at Maroubra Police Station after a roadside stop in Sydney's east on April 5, when officers say he parked short of a random testing site.
- His lawyer says the second test came about 52 minutes after the stop and that Warner's last drink was 11 minutes before police pulled him over, noting that alcohol levels can keep rising for 30 to 60 minutes after the final drink.
- The matter was adjourned to June 24, and the mid-range drink-driving charge in New South Wales carries a possible $2,200 fine and up to nine months in jail if he is convicted.
- Cricket NSW says his Sydney Thunder captaincy remains uncertain, signaling potential consequences for his domestic leadership role.
