Star Cricketer turns Commentator

Sydney, June 10: Australian Dashing Batsmen David Warner is set to commentate on the team he has been banned from, when Australia take on England in an ODI series starting June 13.

The series will be Australia's first under the new leadership of Tim Paine and Justin Langer after the ball-tampering scandal that led to Warner's ban, and the former vice-captain will commentate for it as part of Channel Nine's coverage.

Suspended from international cricket along with Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft for his role in the Cape Town Test ball-tampering scandal, Warner's latest role comes as he prepares to make his playing return in a T20 tournament in Toronto later this month.

"Dave is the best one-day and T20 batsman of the past decade so he's perfectly placed to join our coverage for the UK series," Nine's director of sports Tom Malone told cricket.com.au.
