The veteran opener David Warner decided to withdraw his appeal to overturn the lifetime leadership ban on Wednesday. 

In a lengthy statement, Warner launched a scathing attack on the review panel's process, saying it wanted a 'public lynching'.

Warner alleged that the counsel assisting the review panel had made offensive comments during the process.

Warner further explained that he is not prepared for his family to be the washing machine for cricket's dirty laundry and that's why he withdrew his application.


Earlier, when Cricket Australia ratified the amendment to their code of conduct, they confirmed it was not an appeal against the initial decision or a review of the original offence.

Warner has been banned for life for taking any leadership role in the Australian team following his involvement in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.
