'Warner will be welcomed back with open arms'
Australia's limited overs skipper Aaron Finch insists the divisive David Warner will be welcomed back "with open arms" despite ongoing fallout yesterday from tell-all ball-tampering interviews by Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft.
Bancroft and Smith caused a storm by opening up in recent days over the scandal as they re-emerge into public life, with their comments widely interpreted as deflecting all blame onto Warner.
Some believe the relationship between Bancroft and Warner is now untenable while local reports have suggested opposition to Warner remains within the Australian team.
But Finch, the one-day and Twenty20 captain, insisted they would all be welcomed back.
"It's nine months ago and I think in the next three months when Davey and Steve are ready to be allowed to come back and play cricket for Australia and their states I think from my point of view, they'll be welcomed back with open arms," he said.
