Steve Smith,then the Australian captain,was banned for two years from having a leadership role for his role in the fiasco,having been found guilty of five sub-points under the code of conduct,but that expires in March next year. He has growing support to return to the top role if,and when,successor Tim Paine was to step down.
Warner captained two overseas Twenty20 franchises during his year-long ban from Australian representation,having been seen as a bubbly and canny skipper when he led the Australian Twenty20 side in a tri-series against England and New Zealand before the infamous tour of South Africa.
Warner,under instruction from his management,and CA have maintained a vigilant party line since his return,and the dashing opener was quick to dismiss speculation that he or his management could push for a lifting of the leadership ban at a time when he has rediscovered his touch with the bat.
"I was waiting for those questions - at the end of the day you just have to respect the decision and move on and get on with it,"Warner said in Perth on Sunday.
"I haven't looked back. I have just kept on looking forward. My job is to come out and score runs. As I said before,I didn't do well in England. It's about me trying to return to scoring runs and putting my best foot forward for the team."
Asked if he would like another party to lead a push to over-turn the ban,Warner replied:"No,no - I am quite comfortable here."
