Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are definitely missing their skipper David Warner in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). More than the team, the cricketer himself is gutted to miss out on the action after he was banned by Cricket Australia (CA) for 1 year after which even BCCI barred him from playing in the IPL. However, the Indian cricket board has even stopped him from visiting India in order to support his team SRH which must disappoint a lot of fans.

Warner was found guilty by CA in the ball-tampering scandal which shocked the cricketing fraternity last month. The likes of Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft were also banned for a significant period along with him. All of them have apologised to the cricket fans and their nations for their actions during the Cape Town Test match against South Africa.

Twitter user reveals

David Warner has been dearly missing all the action in India as he was seen commenting on the live videos of SRH’s official Instagram handle ahead of the IPL. He had indicated during that period that at some stage he will visit India to support his team and cheer for them while sitting in the stands. But a Twitter user named ‘Srujana Konakanchi‏ has revealed her chat with Warner’s wife Candice in which she has informed that BCCI has denied his request to visit India and support Sunrisers.

“He was wanting to come over but unfortunately the BCCI have stopped him from coming over to watch. He will be back next year. Even he is disappointed as he wanted his team to support the team he loves,” her replies read. It is surprising to know that he was stopped from watching an IPL game in India. May be the BCCI didn’t want any controversy regarding the incident to mar the ongoing tournament but it is unfair on Warner that he was denied a chance to support his team.
