The incident took place in Sydney’s Maroubra area, where police stopped Warner’s vehicle and conducted a breath test. Reports suggest that although Warner had pulled over before reaching a testing point, authorities still carried out the test, which allegedly returned a positive result.

Following the test, New South Wales Police registered a case against the cricketer and briefly took him into custody before transferring him to a police station. Media reports indicate that Warner is scheduled to appear before a court on May 7.

Warner is currently leading Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 11. He had traveled to Australia on a short break and was expected to rejoin his team on April 9 ahead of upcoming matches.
