Following the clearance, Randwick Petersham, a local club, contacted the batsman and Warner gave a nod for the same. The southpaw has agreed to play the first few matches of the Sydney Premier Cricket season and will be seen in action for the first time after the ban.
Club President Mike Whitney welcomed Warner to the Club. The former fast bowler informed that the left hander would be available to play the first three or four matches of the Sydney Premier Cricket season.
“We’re delighted to have him. He’s one of the best players Australia has had since World War Two. He’s been speaking to one of our club officials and he has committed to the first three or four rounds of the season. Why it is only three or four rounds at this stage, I don’t know. Everyone is excited to have him. He will be great in the changing rooms with younger players,” the Club President mentioned.
