IND vs NZ: The second match between India and New Zealand is going on at the MCA Stadium in Pune. During this match, a star opener has received great news. Because this player has been given the captaincy of a team overnight. The special thing is that the board had banned him from captaining for years. But now the ban has been lifted. Now who is this player, let’s know
During the IND vs NZ match, this star player was banned from captaining for life
In fact, during the second match between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ), the ban on former Australian player David Warner from captaining has been lifted. It is known that in 2018, the ball tampering case created a stir in the cricket world. In the Cape Town Test against South Africa, the players of the Australian team tried to tamper with the ball.
Former captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and batsman Cameron Bancroft were punished in this case. It was also revealed that Warner was the mastermind of this case, so Warner was given a harsher punishment than Smith and Bancroft, who were banned from captaincy for life.
David Warner’s ban on captaincy lifted
But now 6 years after this case, during the second match of India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ), Cricket Australia has decided to revoke his lifetime ban. So now Warner can be seen captaining again. However, it is worth noting that Warner retired from international cricket earlier this year. But he is playing in the T20 league. So now he can be seen captaining the Sydney Thunders team in the Big Bash League tournament.
Warner’s conduct improves
37-year-old Warner filed his petition before the three-member panel earlier this month during the India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ) match. After this, Warner was found to be meeting all the criteria for lifting the ban. While lifting his ban, the committee said that his reaction has changed. Also, his conduct has now impressed the committee review panel. Also, the committee said that his conduct has changed. An example of this is that he is no longer sledging against any rival team.
The ban was imposed due to hair tampering
It is worth mentioning that after the ball tampering incident, Warner and Smith were banned for one year by Cricket Australia. Bancroft was also banned from playing cricket for 9 months. Smith and Bancroft were also banned for two years for leadership, which ended in 2020. But Warner was deprived of lifelong leadership. In 2022, Cricket Australia changed the code of conduct, so players can seek a review for major punishment. Due to this, Warner also filed a petition.
