Warner had made 35 on Saturday when he reportedly told an umpire he was removing himself from the game. But the big-hitting opener, who is notorious for his own on-field sledging, was back at the crease after a couple of minutes.
Warner was 114 not out after also making 155 last month for Randwick-Petersham in round one of the premier grade competition.
Under the conditions of their 12-month bans, Warner and Smith can play in the local Sydney competition.
The three Test players were banned for their roles in attempting to tamper with the ball during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town, found out after Bancroft was caught using sandpaper and putting it down his pants on the ground’s big screen. Smith and Warner were removed from their leadership roles and banned for 12 months, while Bancroft accepted a nine-month suspension. CA will release the review findings on Monday in Melbourne.
Western Suburbs secretary Rick Wayde said he was told by an umpire Warner had asked for permission to leave the field. Warner left the field before returning to continue his innings a couple of minutes later.
“I don’t know how anyone has a slant on what’s happened from 125 metres away,” Wayde said.
There were questions whether Warner should have been able to continue his innings so quickly after leaving the field, having not retired hurt, but Western Suburbs players were said to have allowed him to keep batting after his return.
Warner recorded his century from 179 balls as the day progressed, his second in four appearances for Randwick-Petersham this season.
