David Warner’s return to cricket for the first time since the ball-tampering scandal lasted all of two balls.
A day after Steve Smith returned to competitive cricket with 61 runs, David Warner, the former Australia vice-captain, had a less fruitful time at the crease, being bowled by Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga for 1 in his Global T20 Canada match on Friday, June 29.
“The bubble we’ve been in for the last six or seven years, you need time out and I think these 12 months are going to be a good reflection upon myself as a person and a character, as a dad and a family man.
“The last 12 weeks have been tough, but it’s enabled me to spend a lot of time with my family, and that’s something I’ll always cherish every day. To have my daughter on Facetime and say that she misses me and loves me and she wants to come over here and watch cricket, I’m excited that they want to get back into it as well. It’s those things we miss.”
