Cricket Australia lifts the leadership ban, and David Warner is named captain of the Sydney Thunder.
Six years after the notorious ball-tampering incident at Newlands, Sydney Thunder skipper David Warner has finally been named. His appointment comes after Cricket Australia (CA) recently gave him the all-clear to return as captain. After Warner was implicated in the notorious, scandalous Sandpaper-gate incident during the third Test match against South Africa in Cape Town in 2018, he was barred from captaincy.
