David Warner reinstated as Sunrisers Hyderabad captain

Australia’s David Warner has been reinstated as Sunrisers Hyderabad captain, two years after stepping down because of his international ban for ball-tampering. Warner, 33, who led Sunrisers to the 2016 title, missed the 2018 season. He returned last year, but New Zealand’s Kane Williamson was retained as captain. “I’m extremely grateful to be given the opportunity to lead the team once again,” he said. Warner added in a video announcement on the club’s official Twitter account: “I’d like to thank Kane for the way that you led throughout the last couple of years. You have done an outstanding job. I will be doing my very, very best to try to lead us to once again lift the IPL trophy this coming year.”
