David Warner has hit out at Cricket Australia (CA) over his lifetime leadership ban, calling it "harsh" and describing the process as "traumatic".
Warner's comments come after it was announced that CA had altered their code of conduct, allowing the 36-year-old to appeal the ban that was handed to him in 2018 as a result of the ball tampering scandal.
A CA statement said any appeals would have to show that "exceptional circumstances exist to justify modifying a sanction", including whether a player has shown genuine remorse, their conduct since the original sanction and "whether sufficient time has passed to allow for reform or rehabilitation".
