Aussie teammates irked after David Warner parties with his friends in the team hotel
All is not well in the Australian camp right now.
The ugly fallout of the ongoing ball-tampering controversy continues as the everything is going wrong for the Australian cricket team in South Africa. The vice-captain of the side David Warner has come under the scanner now after he was seen partying with hos non-cricketing friends in the bar of the team hotel. While Cricket Australia (CA) is investigating the matter, these actions from Warner are quite surprising. However, he has attracted the ire of his own teammates now as they want him to be removed from the hotel.
Though nothing is confirmed yet, it is being emerged that Warner was at the centre of the ball-tampering controversy. He convinced the skipper Smith for the same as they drafted in the young inexperienced Cameron Bancroft to do the job and eventually were caught on the cameras clearly. While Smith accepted his wrongdoings in the press conferences and also apologised for his actions, he was suspended for 1 Test by ICC and will eventually miss the final Test match against South Africa.
Warner’s wague behaviour
According to the reports in Foxsports.com.au, David Warner has further outraged his devastated teammates by partying with his friends amidst all the drama. Several of his teammates are already fuming over him and have asked the bosses of Australian cricket to remove him from team hotel also warning that there could be an incident between Warner and angry player if he stays.
Also, reportedly, Warner has removed himself from the Whatsapp group between the players as one of the sources was quoted as saying that he had ‘gone rogue’ ever since the infamous incident in Cape Town has broken out. Interestingly, it is also being believed that some of the players in the team didn’t know about the plan which was made to alter the condition of the ball until the footage was shown on the big screen during the play.
The Australian cricket board is expected to come to conclusion soon on the matter with Smith, Warner, Bancroft and the coach Darren Lehmann under focus.
