Warner fined and suspended

At the disciplinary hearing on Thursday, Warner pleaded guilty to breaching Rule 6: Unbecoming Behaviour and was fined as well as suspended for his act of being involved in a physical altercation with English batsmen Joe Root. Rule 6 states: Without limiting any other rule, players and officials must not at any time engage in behaviour unbecoming to a representative player or official that could (a) bring them or the game of game into disrepute or (b) be harmful to the interests of cricket. 

Cricket Australia Senior Code of Behaviour Commissioner, The Hon. Justice Gordon Lewis AM, fined Warner $11,500 and suspended him from the remainder of Australia's ICC Champions Trophy campaign as well as the Australian team's two tour matches against Somerset and Worcestershire. However, Warner will be eligible for selection for the first Ashes Test.
