Australian cricket star David Warner has withdrawn his bid to have a lifetime captaincy ban revoked after claiming the review panel wanted to 'conduct a public trial' about the 2018 ball-tampering incident.
After serving a one year ban from domestic and international cricket following the incident Warner returned to the Australian side. With a captaincy position set to become available the 36-year-old submitted a bid to have his lifetime ban from captaining the country's side lifted.
However, after being told the independent review panel would include a cross-examination of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal he has now withdrawn his appeal - claiming that the panel wanted to 'conduct a public trial' on him.
