The development comes while the Karachi Kings captain is competing in the Pakistan Super League.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>David Warner was charged after a drunk-driving incident in Maroubra, Sydney.<\/li>\n<li>The event reportedly took place on Tuesday and involved a roadside random breath test.<\/li>\n<li>Police alleged the reading was 0.104, which is more than twice Australia\u2019s legal limit.<\/li>\n<li>Warner was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station.<\/li>\n<li>A Field Court Attendance Notice was issued for a court appearance on Thursday, 7 May 2026.<\/li>\n<li>Warner last played international cricket against India in the Super 8 stage of the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the reported incident, New South Wales Police stopped Warner and carried out a random breath test. Australian media reports say the test indicated he had consumed alcohol above the permitted threshold.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged blood alcohol concentration recorded was 0.104, a figure that is described as more than double the legal limit in Australia. Based on the result, Warner was charged, arrested, and taken to Maroubra Police Station.<\/p>\n<p>Police provided details of the procedure in a statement that referenced the timing and location. It said: \u201cAbout 5:30pm today (Sunday 5 April 2026), police were conducting stationary random breath testing on Malabar Road, Maroubra.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement added that a van was reportedly seen pulling in short of the testing area and parking. Officers from the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command then approached the vehicle and tested the driver\u2014described as a 39-year-old man\u2014at the roadside, with the result coming back positive.<\/p>\n<p>It further claimed that Warner was arrested and brought to Maroubra Police Station, where a second breath test allegedly confirmed the reading of 0.104. Following that, he was issued with a Field Court Attendance Notice related to a \u201cdrive with middle-range PCA\u201d charge.<\/p>\n<p>Warner has been told to appear in court next month. The notice specifies a hearing before the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday, 7 May 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>International timeline<\/h3>\n<p>Warner\u2019s most recent international appearance came against India during the Super 8 stage of the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024. The opener\u2019s international career had already ended in different formats earlier, with retirement from Test cricket announced in January 2024.<\/p>\n<p>He stepped away from ODIs immediately after the 2023 ICC Men\u2019s ODI World Cup, bringing an end to his international involvement prior to his current franchise commitments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Australia opener David Warner is facing legal trouble after being charged with drink-driving following an incident in Maroubra, Sydney, on Tuesday.
