12 days ago, on October 25, Cricket Australia's Conduct Commission had lifted the lifetime captaincy ban on Warner. He was banned for ball tampering in the test match against South Africa in 2018. Apart from Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft were also found guilty in the ball tampering case, who were banned from cricket for one year each. He had appealed to Cricket Australia to withdraw the ban.
