Nothing is stopping the Cricket Australia board from unilaterally removing David Warner’s leadership ban and ending a saga called “shambolic” by his lawyer, despite claims by the chief executive Nick Hockley that it must be dealt with by an independent commission.
“Of course CA’s board now has the power to review and ‘lift’ its own ban. It was a CA board ban and CA is the governing body. Why CA doesn’t just do that only compounds the shambolic approach taken by the panel.” Warner was banned from holding leadership positions in Australian cricket for life as part of CA’s response to the 2018 Newlands scandal.
Hockley, who had personally worked alongside head of integrity Jacqui Partridge to review and rewrite the governing body’s code of conduct, to find a way for Warner’s case and other long-term sanctions to be reconsidered, had argued the matter was out of CA’s hands.“What we have demonstrated is that we have very strong integrity processes that are in line with best practice, including the mandatory standards of Sports Integrity Australia,” Hockley said.
In his statement, Warner revealed that the code of conduct commissioners overseeing the case and their counsel assisting, who was later removed, had indicated that they thought CA needed a public “cleansing” around the 2018 ball tampering affair.
