Warner was banned from international cricket for a year and from leadership positions for life for his role 2018 ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.

There have been calls for the leadership ban to be dropped to allow Warner to be considered for the vacancy as Australia's one-day international captain and the board of CA is now reviewing the ban.

"It's important to recognise that players who are sanctioned can change," CA chair Lachlan Henderson has told media.

Henderson added that the review would be undertaken "as quickly as practicable" and that any changes would be put in place in time to allow Warner to be considered for vacant leadership positions.
