Ex-Australia cricketer Warner accepts decision to drink and drive was ‘foolish’20 minutes agoShareSaveAdd as preferred on Google
Getty ImagesA lawyer for former Australia batter David Warner has mentioned his client will accept responsibility for a drink-driving charge, saying he knows his behaviour was “foolish” and “reckless”.
Warner, 39, was charged last month after returning a positive result following a random breath test in Maroubra, Sydney. He has yet to enter a plea.
“I can indicate that David will be accepting responsibility for drink-driving,” his lawyer Bobby Hill told reporters outside court on Thursday according to public broadcaster ABC.
The cricketer, currently captain of Pakistan Super League side Karachi Kings, did not appear at the hearing and the case was adjourned until June.
“He knows what he did was wrong,” Hill mentioned. “He accepts that was a reckless decision, a foolish decision to get in his car instead of taking an Uber.”
He mentioned Warner had drunk three glasses of wine at a friend’s apartment before getting in his car.
“It’s not a crime to have a glass of wine on the day of the lord’s resurrection. In fact, some would consider that completely appropriate,” Hill mentioned.
“His crime is, as I mentioned, choosing a foolish plan A instead of a plan B.”
Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024, is also captain of the Sydney Thunder.
Cricket NSW chief executive Lee Germon mentioned after he was charged in April that the allegations were “concerning” and that the body took them “very seriously.
“At Cricket NSW, we are strong advocates for safe driving, not drink-driving,” he mentioned.
