'I've got no regrets': David Warner on ball-tampering scandal

The lifetime leadership ban was meted out to David Warner after his teammate Cameron Bancroft was found with sandpaper in his trouser pocket, leading to Australia's admission of ball-tampering during the Cape Town Test against South Africa in 2018. Notably, of the three cricketers penalised—captain Steve Smith and Bancroft being the other two—Warner received the most severe punishment. Warner also revealed that he was prepared to retire from Tests after 2nd match of 2023 Ashes series at Lord's if he had not scored runs.
