Former Australia vice-captain made a tearful apology on Saturday morning for his major role in the ball-tampering scandal, saying he is “resigned to the fact” he may not play for Australia again.
Warner later tweeted that he would do his best “in time” to answer all questions people may have.
1/3 I know there are unanswered questions and lots of them. I completely understand. In time i will do my best to answer them all. But there is a formal CA process to follow.

2/3 I am taking advice to make sure I properly comply with that process and answer all questions in the proper place and at the proper time.

3/3 I should have mentioned that in my press conference I’m sorry for not making it clearer. With so much at stake for my family and cricket I have to follow this process properly. I think that’s fair.
