Former Australian cricketer David Warner has been charged with reportedly charged with drunken-driving after he was pulled over in Sydney during the weekend.

The 39-year-old was arrested and taken to a local police station where he was charged with mid-range drink driving, National Broadcaster ABC and other local media reported.

The left-handed opening batter who still plays Twenty20 cricket for franchises around the world, was allegedly at the wheel of a van that stopped and parked short of a random testing site on Sunday.

He most recently appeared for the Karachi Kings last week in the Pakistan Super League.

ABC said officers approached the vehicle and breath-tested Warner who returned a positive result.

He is due to appear in court on May 7.

Police in a statement outlined the incident, but did not name Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024 after racking up 8,786 runs across his 112 Tests.
