David Warner made his Test debut in the year 2011 and has since proven to be one of the most aggressive Test batsmen. Warner was one of those cricketers who used to hit the opposing players and sometimes also dismantled them with his batting.
However, there have been many ups and downs in David Warner’s career. Warner became involved in the Sandpaper Gate scandal that took place during a tour of South Africa in 2018. Warner was one of those three players, including Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft, who allegedly tampered with the ball during the third Test match of the series with the use of sandpaper.
David Warner was the one who knew about the entire development, for which he received a one-year suspension. After Warner returned to the team, his form was not at its peak like a few years ago, but the latter ended his career on a happy note and helped Australia whitewash Pakistan 3-0.
