David Warner will be able to attempt to have his lifetime leadership ban lifted after changes to Cricket Australia’s code of conduct were approved.<\/span><\/p>\n Warner was banned from elite cricket for 12 months and from leadership positions for life by CA in 2018 for his part in the infamous <\/span>ball-tampering scandal<\/span><\/a> in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n But the 36-year-old can now apply to have his sanction “modified” by a three-person review panel, as long as “exceptional circumstances” exist to justify a change to his ban.<\/span><\/p>\n These include whether he has shown genuine remorse, his behaviour and conduct since he was handed the ban, and whether sufficient time has passed to allow for reform or rehabilitation.<\/span><\/p>\n After Aaron Finch stepped down as Australia’s one-day international captain, there have been calls for Warner to fill the vacancy.<\/span><\/p>\n Pat Cummins, Australia’s Test captain, was named as Finch’s successor in October but has said he would be willing to share the ODI captaincy to ease his burden.<\/span><\/p>\n Opening batter Warner previously deputised as ODI captain in 2016 and 2017 and was vice-captain of the Test team when he was banned.<\/span><\/p>\n Asked if he wants to be captain, Warner said in October: “If it ever presented itself it would be a privilege, but for me it is about focusing on the next game and what I have to do for the team.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
