David Warner reflects on ball-tampering scandal

On being asked about event player said, "I knew a question like this was going to come up. When I look back at that, it can be handled differently. But I think Nick (Hockley, CA's chief executive) did his ultimate best to put that forward to board and decision was me, and I am happy with that. I have moved forward from that. I have got opportunities to le in IPL, to le in ILT20. I have enjoyed my leership roles.

“When I left South Africa, first five or six people that came up to me were priests and gave me a card. n we went on a holiday to Singapore after that and re was a big church convention. I n sat back and spoke to Candice, and said someone was clearly watching down upon us. I just grew strength from re to go back, play gre cricket, get a sense of that cricket community back - canteen lies, people who run drinks out, taking on and off covers - it was a sense of something I sort of got disconnected with. I think a lot of us do because we are in that bubble but when you go back and see real people who are working hard, which we did as young kids, that is what I reflect most upon.”
