As soon as the lifetime leadership ban is lifted, David Warner has been given the big responsibility of captaincy. He has got the command of Sydney Thunder team in Australia's T20 League Big Bash. Cricket Australia lifted the ban imposed on David Warner in 2018 only last month, after which Sydney Thunder announced to make him its captain. Warner himself has also shared the information about getting the captaincy of Sydney Thunder in Big Bash 14.

Ban imposed in 2018 lifted in 2024, becomes captain

In 2018, Warner was given a lifetime leadership ban for ball tampering in the Johannesburg Test played against South Africa. Under this ban, he could not captain any cricket team at any level in Australia. But, Cricket Australia reviewed its decision in this matter last month and decided to change it. After the ban was lifted in October this year, the news of Warner becoming the captain also came in November.
