Australia batsman David Warner to face hearing over Twitter outburst - The Guardian

David Warner, who is set to play for Australia in the Champions Trophy and Ashes series in England, will have a Cricket Australia disciplinary hearing on Wednesday over comments he made on Twitter in angry exchanges with two journalists.

Cricket Australia said Warner was alleged to have breached a section of its code of conduct relating to "unbecoming behaviour".

Warner used Twitter on Friday night in India to launch an often expletive-filled attack on the News Limited journalists Robert Craddock and Malcolm Conn after taking exception to an article critical of the IPL. Warner played for the competition's Delhi team.

Last week spot-fixing allegations were levelled against three Rajasthan Royals players taking part in the tournament, including the former India fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth.
