David Warner said he still views leadership positions as a privilege and is willing to speak with Cricket Australia about getting out of the suspension he was given for his involvement in the ball-tampering incident at Newlands.
After being determined to have played the primary role in the 2018 incident, Cricket Australia suspended the 35-year-old from the elite game for a year and from leadership posts permanently.
Aaron Finch, who resigned as Australia’s one-day international captain due to a slump in form, is not certain to return as the team’s Twenty20 captain during the 2019 World Cup.
“Any opportunity you get asked to captain or whatnot, it’s a privilege,” Warner told Fox Sports.
“For my circumstances, that’s in Cricket Australia’s hands and I can only concentrate on what I have to do, and that’s using the bat and trying to get as many runs as I can.”
“My phone’s here. At the end of the day, what’s done in the past is done. There’s a new board and I’m always happy to sit down and have a chat about anything.”
