The life of David Warner feels like a very lonely one at this point in time with former England captain Michael Vaughan claiming that the former Australia vice-captain doesn’t have too many friends in cricket.

Vaughan believes that the intense reaction that Warner has faced isn’t particularly surprising given that he has a bad history with other players due to some of the things that he has said earlier.

Vaughan told BBC Radio 5Live: "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.

"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.”

As a result, Vaughan believes, the rest of the cricket fraternity has taken up this opportunity to have a go at the former Sunrisers Hyderabad captain.

"That's been the reason why so many people have said 'right, this is our time, we're going to have a few words against the team and particularly David Warner'.

"He hasn't got too many pals around the world in terms of what he's done to them for the last few years."

While David Warner might be a great player, his on-field antics with the opponents have always made him a difficult rival to deal with. Vaughan, however, thinks that his brash attitude is down to Cricket Australia unleashing him against the other teams.

"I think he's a wonderful player but some of the ways that he's been around the team is down to Cricket Australia because they have unleashed him, they've told him to go out and be that person," added Vaughan.

"So they can't turn around and say 'we've got this character that we don't want around anymore' - (because) they created that character.

"You feel Cricket Australia wanted to stamp down, they've also got to look at themselves.

"With someone like David Warner, they called him 'the reverend' after the Joe Root incident for two years because he was so plain, he was so nice, then all of a sudden they wanted 'the bull' back. They wanted this fighting bull on the pitch.

"They unleashed the bull and the bull has come back to haunt them.”

The Englishman then called for CA to evaluate themselves and are using Warner as a scapegoat right after asking him to turn heel and become “the bull.”
