Explosive Australian batsman David Warner was reinstated as IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad's captain, an edge that he had to offer up after the ball-tampering scandal in 2018. The 33-year-old Warner, who led the Sunrisers to the trophy in 2016, will take over from New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson for the season starting March 29. "I am thrilled to tend the captaincy for this coming IPL 2020. I'm extremely grateful for the chance to steer the side once more ," Warner said during a video posted by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. "I'd wish to thank Kane (Williamson) for the way you guys led the team throughout the last few years and I'd be leaning on you guys for support and insight to the sport also ," he said.
"To the management many thanks for the chance and i am sure i will be doing my absolute best to undertake and lead us and lift again the IPL trophy this coming year," he added. Warner had stepped down as captain after he was barred from participating within the 2018 season of the tournament within the aftermath of the ball-tampering scandal. In March 2018, during Australia's third Test against South Africa in Cape Town , Cameron Bancroft was caught using a sandpaper to tamper the ball. Warner then captain Steve Smith were both slapped with one-year bans for conspiring to try to to it, while Bancroft was suspended for nine months.
