3 min readApr 7, 2026 04:48 PM IST Former Australia opener David Warner has been charged with mid-range drink driving after an incident in Sydney’s eastern suburbs over the weekend. New South Wales Police said officers were carrying out random breath tests on Malabar Road in Maroubra at about 5:30 pm on Sunday when a van reportedly stopped before the testing site and parked, leading them to take a closer look. Police approached the vehicle and subjected the 39-year-old driver – later confirmed to be Warner – to a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result. He was subsequently arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station, where a second breath analysis allegedly recorded a reading of 0.104, placing him in the mid-range prescribed concentration of alcohol (PCA) category under Australian law. Warner has since been charged with middle-range drink driving and is due to appear before the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday, May 7, 2026. “About 5:30pm today (Sunday 5 April 2026), police were conducting stationary random breath testing on Malabar Road, Maroubra. …

5 min readThiruvananthapuramFeb 1, 2026 08:47 AM IST A 4-1 canter over New Zealand, a personal upturn of form and his team adding deeper gears before the World Cup defence, Suryakumar Yadav was in joyous spirit after the game in Thiruvananthapuram. But he deflected the attention from his own form to the positives his team made in the tournament. “I think in 2025 also it was the same Surya, this is also the same Surya. I was just out of runs. But I am feeling really good, in a good mental space, and very happy with what’s happening around in the team,” he said. He scored his third half-century of the tournament and the last one was arguably the most frictionless one. Ishan Kishan, though, stole the limelight with a blitzkrieg century. Surya waxed eloquent on him. “We always knew what Ishan Kishan brings to the table. We have seen how he played in domestic cricket just before this series. We always wanted him to bat the same way, and not change his identity. We …
