David Warner on Sunday urged Cricket Australia to “open their doors” and discuss lifting his lifetime leadership ban, saying he is eager to have a “honest conversation” with the board.

However, several former and current players, including Test skipper Pat Cummins, have called for Warner’s life ban to end.

“That hasn’t really been brought to the table,” Warner was quoted saying by a website.

“As I’ve said plenty of times off the record, it’s upon the board to reach out to me and open their doors. Then I can sit down and have an honest conversation with them,” he added.

Warner, Smith and batter Cameron Bancroft were banned from playing domestic or international cricket as punishment for their roles in the infamous ball-tampering scandal.

Warner and Smith had been banned for one year, while Bancroft was suspended for nine months.
