One of Australia's most decorated cricketers will face court after alleging blowing twice the legal limit in a random breath test on Easter Sunday.
David Warner was allegedly stopped at a roadside breath testing unit at Maroubra in Sydney's east.
Police allege Warner was driving a van that stopped and and parked short of the testing site.
Officers approached the vehicle and breath-tested Warner, who returned a positive result for alcohol, police said.
He was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station for further testing.
The 39-year-old was charged after allegedly producing a blood alcohol reading of 0.104 - more than twice the legal limit.
Warner has been captaining the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League in recent weeks, scoring 50 in their last game in Lahore on April 2.
His stint comes off the back of a record-breaking season in the Big Bash, where he averaged 86.6 for the Sydney Thunder and was named captain of the official team of the tournament.
The Thunder declined to comment on the incident.
Warner was one of Australia's most destructive batsmen until his retirement from Test cricket in 2024 and has since appeared on the Fox Cricket commentary team.
He hit 8786 runs at an average of more than 44 across his 112 Tests, with a high score of 335 not out against Pakistan.
However, Warner has not escaped controversy throughout his career.
He was one of the trio suspended after a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa that shook the cricketing world.
Warner also admitted to punching future England captain Joe Root at a nightclub in Birmingham in 2013 after losing the final of the Champions Trophy.
He will face Downing Centre Local Court on the mid-range drink-driving charge on May 7.
