Summary
- Australian allrounder Moises Henriques has leapt to the defence of David Warner, saying the opener was only trying to “selflessly” advantage the bowling unit when he hatched a plan to tamper with the ball.
- Warner was axed as vice-captain and handed a 12-month ban after it was revealed he was the mastermind behind Australia’s decision to ball tamper in South Africa last month.
- “Now, ‘caught ball tampering’ trying to selflessly advantage the fast bowling unit – not for his own stats or personal gain.
- Match fixing for personal financial gain, performance enhancing drugs….
- He said Warner, Smith, and Bancroft had been punished enough already.
