David Andrew Warner (born 27 October 1986) is an Australian cricketer and the current vice captain of the team in all 3 formats of the game. An explosive left-handed opening batsman, Warner is the first Australian cricketer in 132 years to be selected for a national team in any format without experience in first-class cricket. He currently plays for New South Wales, the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Sydney Thunder. He became vice-captain of Australia across Test and ODI formats of the game, in August 2015. He predominantly fields at slip, but has moved to midwicket after thumb injuries in 2016. On the 23rd of January 2017, he became the fourth player to win the Allan Border medal more than once and also win the award in consecutive years.

Currently, he is ranked fifth in the list of top 10 Test batsmen in the world, according to the official ICC Player Rankings, published in December 2015. He is the first Australian and sixth overall to reach 1,500 T20I runs. He is also the first Australian batsman to score 7 ODI centuries in a calendar year.

David Andrew Warner was born at Paddington, a suburb in eastern Sydney, New South Wales. At the age of 13 he was asked by his coach to switch to right-handed batting because he kept hitting the ball in the air. However one season later his mother, Sheila Warner (née Orange), encouraged him to return to batting left-handed and he broke the U/16's run scoring record for the Sydney Coastal Cricket Club. He then made his first grade debut for the Eastern Suburbs club at the age of 15 and later toured Sri Lanka with the Australian under-19s and earned a rookie contract with the state team. He has been seen practising hitting right-handed in 2016, which he had hit at least one switch-hit in all forms of the game.
