As of now, Warner has agreed to play the ‘first three or four’ matches of the season for the club, Mike Whitney, the Randwick Petersham president, was quoted as saying by Australian media outlets.

Warner has been with Randwick Petersham since 2013-14 after joining them from Eastern Suburbs, but hasn’t played much cricket for the club because of his other commitments.

But with the ban – Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft are also similarly affected – coming in, Warner can only play grade cricket for the time being.
