Memories of the most traumatic period of his life will be stirring when David Warner fronts television coverage of the Cape Town Test.
While Steve Smith prepares to face the music out in the middle eight years on from Sandpapergate, Warner will give his insights from the other side of the world as part of Kayo and Fox Cricket’s exclusive coverage of a blockbuster series decider against South Africa.
Warner will join Brendon Julian, Kerry O’Keeffe and Mark Waugh for Fox’s studio panel analysing and dissecting the third and final Test, which just happens to double as the first return to Cape Town for the Australian Test team since the match which changed the game forever back in 2018.
Despite the passage of time, it promises to be an eerie week for many involved in a scandal, although that has taken a back seat to the fact there is a do-or-die Test decider on the line for a desperate Australia to win.
