World Cup winner James Faulkner will miss Australia's limited overs matches against England and Ireland after Cricket Australia (CA) banned the all-rounder for drink-driving.

The 25-year-old faces a court hearing in Manchester next week after being charged with drink-driving by Greater Manchester Police while playing for English county side Lancashire.

CA said Faulkner had been punished for "conduct that is unbecoming of a representative and that is or could be harmful to the interests of cricket".

His suspension covers the matches against Ireland on August 27, and England on August 31, September 3 and September 5.
