The lifetime ban from holding leadership positions in Australian cricket imposed on David Warner for his part in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal has been lifted, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Friday.

Short blasted 41 off 26 balls against England and shared a blistering opening partnership with Travis Head as Australia won the first Twenty20 by a comfortable 28 runs in Southampton.
Warner bowed out of international cricket with Australia's exit from the T20 World Cup, and the hard-hitting Fraser-McGurk has been seen as his natural successor following his sensational Indian Premier League campaign.
"I will continue to play franchise cricket for a while, and I am also open to playing for (Australia) in the Champions Trophy if selected," said Warner.
