David Warner heavily trolled on Twitter after breaking down on camera
The 31-year old believes that his chances of playing for Australia are very minimal.
Former Australia vice-captain David Warner finally addressed the media after landing in the country following a controversy-marred tour of South Africa. While Steve Smith had given his statement upon reaching the airport, Warner took a couple of days to regroup himself, spend some time with his family and eventually take the executive decision to face the cameras.
“I’ve let you down badly. I hope in time I’m able to repay all you’ve given me and possibly earn your respect again. To my teammates, I apologize and take full responsibility. To CA, I apologize for my actions and the effect it has had on our game under your care and control,” David Warner said while breaking his silence on the whole episode.
Along with Cameron Bancroft and Steve Smith, Warner has been charged with misconduct and has been implicated in the scandal as part of the ‘leadership team’. Warner, along with his teammate Smith has been banned for a period of 12 months and will not turn out for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. This comes as a big blow for not just the southpaw, but also for the Hyderabad-based franchise as they will be missing perhaps their most successful skipper of all-time.
Apologies for the family
Ahead of the presser, Warner had stated that he wanted to stay with his family before meeting the press. He went ahead and showered his family with apologies as well.
He said, “I want to apologize to my family, especially my wife and daughters. Your love means more than anything to me, I know I would not be anything without you. I promise you I will never put you in this position again.”
Twitter was on Warner’s case following his admission of guilt. A few tweets, as vicious as they were accused Warner of inducing tears.
Here are a few tweets from all that transpired.
