The former Australian player, David Warner, was arrested for drunk driving in Australia on Tuesday in Maroubra, Sydney. The Karachi Kings skipper was pulled over by the New South Wales Police, and he did a random breath test in which the police detected the consumption of alcohol. The level of alchol in his blood was measured to be at 0.104, which is more than twice the legal limit in Australia. Warner has been summoned to the court for a hearing in the month of May.
"About 5:30pm today (Sunday 5 April 2026), police were conducting stationary random breath testing on Malabar Road, Maroubra," the police statement read. "A van was seen to allegedly stop short of the testing site and park. Officers attached to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command approached the vehicle and subjected the driver - a 39-year-old man - to roadside testing which returned a positive result. The man was issued with a Field Court Attendance Notice for drive with middle-range PCA to appear before the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday 7 May 2026."
Karachi Kings rely on skipper David Warner’s return after personal break
David Warner was appointed as the captain of the Karachi Kings and he was off to a fine start in the Pakistan Super League. The Karachi Kings played just 3 matches and they won all 3 of them to secure the 2nd position in the table. They won their games by a comfortable margin as they sit with a net run rate of 0.486. Warner looked in good touch in the season as he got to a fine half-century in the match against the Rawal Pindiz. He had also scored a well made 35 against the Quetta Gladiators, to lay the foundation for the innings. With the support of Warner at the top of the order, the Karachi Kings seemed to be well established with their batting unit.
The Karachi Kings skipper, David Warner had flown back home due to personal commitments and he is expected to rejoin the squad after the short break. The Karachi Kings will be hoping that David Warner can make himself available for the next game as he has a crucial role to play in securing a spot at the top for his side.
