It's been six years since David Warner found himself in the middle of the 'Sandpaper-gate' controversy during Australia's tour of South Africa. He was then banned from any leadership role, which was lifted by Cricket Australia last month. Subsequently, Warner, who has retired from international cricket, has been appointed the captain of his Big Bash League (BBL) team, Sydney Thunder.
"Captaining the Thunder again this season means a lot to me," said Warner. "I was part of the team from the start, and now to be back with that 'C' next to my name feels fantastic. I'm looking forward to leading from the front and sharing my experience with the young talent coming through."
