Test cricket star David Warner has been charged with mid-range drink-driving.

Warner, 39, was allegedly busted during random breath tests on Malabar Rd in Maroubra, eastern Sydney, about 5.30pm on Easter Sunday.

NSW Police officers allegedly saw a van stop short of the testing site and tested its driver, who allegedly returned a 0.104 result - more than twice the legal blood alcohol limit.

Warner was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station. He was issued a court attendance notice to appear at Downing Centre on May 7, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The Australian opening batsman represented Australia for 15 years having played in more than 100 Tests, one-day internationals and Twenty20s.

He has since retired from international cricket and now captains the Sydney Thunder in the domestic Big Bash League Twenty20.

Warner previously served as vice-captain but was issued a permanent leadership ban, which was later lifted, for the 2018 ball-tampering scandal.

He now skippers for the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League.

Indian newspaper The Sunday Guardian on Easter Sunday said Warner had been granted leave to 'spend time with his family'.

The outlet reported he and three other players would rejoin the team in time for their next match on Thursday. 

It is unclear if Warner will return to the team following his arrest.
