Australian batsman David
Warner has denied that he has a drinking problem, although he admitted
that he was under the influence of alcohol and had acted aggressively
when he punched England batsman Joe Root in the face in a Birmingham
nightclub.
According to Warner, it is necessary for him to move from this incident and work hard so that he is picked for the first Ashes Test, although he is unavailable for the rest of the ICC Champions Trophy tournament.
Stressing that his situation should not be compared to former Australian captain Ricky Ponting, who admitted that he had a drinking problem when he was left with a black eye after a bar incident in Sydney early in his career, Warner said that Ponting's past does have any bearing on him
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Warner, who was fined $11,500 and suspended for a month, will not get another game under his belt before the Ashes, but was spared the embarrassment of becoming the first player ever sent home from an Ashes series.
