Drink-driving charges for Faulkner

Australia all-rounder James Faulkner accepted he had made an "error of judgement" after being charged with drink-driving by Greater Manchester Police while playing for English county side Lancashire.

The 25-year-old has been released on bail and now faces a court hearing in Manchester on July 21.

Cricket Australia, who have charged the World Cup winner under its own code of conduct, "returned a blood alcohol reading of approximately twice the UK's legal limit".

“I can't excuse my actions and understand that I have let people down," Faulkner said in a Cricket Australia statement. "My decision to drive was an error in judgement.

“I apologise unreservedly and accept any penalty handed to me by Cricket Australia and the relevant authorities."
