Former Australian cricketer David Warner has been charged with drink-driving in Sydney.
The former Test opener was said to be batting 0.104 following a breathalyzer test in the eastern suburbs of Maroubra on Sunday evening.
According to a report provided to news.com.au, New South Wales Police stopped the 39-year-old’s van shortly before it reached a random breathalyzer test site.
Officers later approached the vehicle and subjected him to a roadside test, which yielded a positive result.
Warner was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station where a second test produced a reading of 0.104. The legal limit for a fully licensed driver in New South Wales is 0.05.
