Australian Cricketers Association chief executive Todd Greenberg claims the Test team is frustrated by the handling of David Warner's leadership ban, hitting out at Cricket Australia for losing control of the process.
Warner's decision to abandon his review application to have his ban lifted, and the fury over an independent panel's desire for his appeal to be held in public, has hung over the Adelaide Test.
Greenberg claimed the Test opener had little choice but to withdraw his pitch, with the 35-year-old concerned for the wellbeing of both his family and the Australian team.
