Former Australia opener David Warner has been charged with drunk-driving after he was pulled over in Sydney on Sunday.
The 39-year-old, who still plays T20 cricket for franchises around the world, was allegedly at the wheel of a van that stopped and parked short of a random testing site.
National broadcaster ABC said officers approached the vehicle and breath-tested Warner who returned a positive result.
He was arrested and taken to a local police station where he was charged with mid-range drunk driving, ABC and other local media reported. He is due to appear in court on 7 May.

Police, in a statement, outlined the incident but did not name Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024 after racking up 8,786 runs across his 112 Tests.
He most recently appeared for the Karachi Kings last week in the Pakistan Super League.
