Australia fine batsman David Warner £3,700 over Twitter comments

Australia fine batsman David Warner £3,700 for breaching a code of behaviour by having a war of words with two journalists on Twitter.

Australia have issued batsman David Warner with a £3,700 fine for comments he made on Twitter.

Cricket Australia have announced that the 26-year-old has been given the maximum penalty following disciplinary proceedings for breaching the governing body's code of behaviour.

Warner sparked controversy when he posted a number of expletive-filled tweets directed at two journalists over the weekend.

Warner said in a statement: "In hindsight, clearly I let my frustrations get the better of me and posted some inappropriate tweets last weekend. While I disagreed with the story and my image being used alongside the story, I could have chosen my words better and I apologise for any offence that my language may have caused.

"I'll continue to have honest conversations with all my followers and I will be mindful of the language I use in future."

Warner has been representing the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.
