Cricket Australia amended its player code of conduct policy, paving the way for David Warner to apply to have his lifetime leadership ban lifted.
The dynamic opener and former Test vice-captain was banned from any leadership role in Australia over his part in the Cape Town ball-tampering affair in 2018.
Under Cricket Australia's amended policy, Warner will now be able to request a review of his captaincy ban before a panel of three code of conduct commissioners. The new rule"acknowledges that players and player support personnel are capable of genuine reform or rehabilitation". Under the previous code of conduct, players had no right to review a sanction once it had been accepted.A lifting of Warner's ban would make him a prime candidate to take over the T20 captaincy should Finch step down, as he recently did from the 50-over format.
