David Warner and Simon Katich
Former Australia cricketer Simon Katich feels David Warner will never get the public's "full respect" due to his complicity in the 2018 ball-tampering episode, as a lot of people back home couldn't believe what their team had done.

Three players - then skipper Steve Smith, his deputy Warner and Cameron Bancroft - were banned following the âsandpaper-gate' scandal that took place during the 2018 Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Warner was also handed a lifetime leadership ban for his involvement.
The 37-year-old's reputation in public took a massive beating and Katich believes that five years down the line he has not been forgiven completely. "I think it's hard to say full respect because I think there is always going to be an element of the public that didn't like what happened, and rightfully so," Katich told Sen Radio on Wednesday.
