Former Australian cricket star David Warner finds himself in fresh legal trouble, this time with a charge of drink-driving. Despite retiring from international cricket, Warner's off-field conduct continues to make headlines.

David Warner, previously embroiled in the 'Sandpaper-gate' scandal, has been charged with drink-driving, with Cricket New South Wales vowing support for the player.

The 39-year-old Sydney Thunder captain faces a court date after allegedly exceeding the legal alcohol limit. Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024, is reportedly set to resume playing in the Pakistan Super League with Karachi Kings.

The 'Sandpaper-gate' saga in 2018, involving Warner and his teammates, remains a dark chapter in Australian cricket history, resulting in significant suspensions and a major overhaul of the team's culture.
