David Warner has decided not to appeal the 12-month ban he received from Cricket Australia for his role in the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.
The former Australian vice-captain was one of three players banned by Cricket Australia after TV cameras picked up evidence of Cameron Bancroft using sandpaper to roughen one side of the ball during the third test against South Africa in Cape Town last month.
Warner posted a statement on Twitter on Thursday saying, "I have today let Cricket Australia know that I fully accept the sanctions imposed on me. I am truly sorry for my actions and will now do everything I can to be a better person, teammate and role model."
Warner was found to be the instigator of a plot to tamper with the ball, and was handed a 12-month ban along with captain Steve Smith.
Bancroft was banned for nine months.
Smith and Bancroft on Wednesday indicated that they, too, would not challenge their respective bans.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said he hoped the trio would rebuild their careers.
"The events of Cape Town have severely affected the game. It has also been humbling to be reminded of the passion all Australians have for our great game.
"These are significant penalties for professional cricketers. They were not imposed lightly. We know the players will return to playing the game they love, and in doing so, we hope they rebuild their careers and regain the trust of fans," concluded Sutherland.
Warner, who was labeled 'the most hated man in Australia' for his part in the scandal, broke down in tears over the weekend when addressing media in Sydney.
He was slammed on social media afterwards for refusing to answer questions on whether any of his other teammates were involved in the tampering.
On Wednesday, former England test captain Michae Vaughan claimed Warner's low-standing in world cricket should be of no surprise to anyone because of his on-field behaviour.
Vaughan told the BBC he believed the lack of sympathy for Warner after his teary press-conference shows his lack of friends in the game.
"It's not been surprising to me that the whole world have piled in because, particularly David Warner, he has said quite a few things to a number of teams and a number of individuals," Vaughan said.
Vaughan also backed up claims by former teammate Nasser Hussain that Warner has abused everyone in the game except India, in order to protect his lucrative IPL deal.
"I think Nasser Hussain summed it up on television when he said he seemed to have abused every team other than the Indians, which potentially might have affected his IPL contract," Vaughan said.
