David Warner has come back to the role of leader as he has been named the captain of Big Bash League side Sydney Thunder. The ban of leadership for Warner was recently removed by Cricket Australia. Warner was banned in 2018 for some ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.
As he has retired from international cricket, David will now keep his focus on bringing the glory of Sydney Thunder back to what it was before they finished at the bottom in the last season. David is coming in as the replacement of Chris Green as the captain.
David has also expressed how delighted he feels to be back as the role of a leader once again.
“Captaining the Thunder again this season means a lot to me. I was part of the team from the start, and now to be back with that ‘C’ next to my name feels fantastic. I’m looking forward to leading from the front and sharing my experience with the young talent coming through,” said Warner.
“Leadership off the field is just as crucial. I want to create an environment where we can all take a break from the game, bond, and enjoy ourselves. Whether it’s over a team meal, out on the golf course or engaging with our fans in Western Sydney, it’s all about building camaraderie and staying grounded,” he added.
“I want to compliment the way Greeny (Chris Green) led from the front. He’s an exceptional talent with fantastic leadership qualities. Jason Sangha, too, before his injury. I gained great insight from both, and I know they’re guys I can lean on this season,” he concluded.
