Multinational electronics company LG has opted not to renew its contract with Australia opener David Warner, following the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.
Warner has been axed as vice captain and sent home from the tour by Cricket Australia following the incident, which has made headlines around the world.
Warner's fellow opener Cameron Bancroft was caught on camera attempting to scuff up the ball with improvised sandpaper during the Cape Town Test on Saturday, in a move CA say was planned by Warner, Bancroft and captain Steve Smith.
The three players have all been sent home, with further sanctions from their governing body believed to be imminent.
Several of CA's major sponsors have said they will await the results of a full investigation into the scandal before deciding on the future of their deals with the governing body.
But an LG spokeswoman said in a statement: "LG's current sponsorship of David Warner is in the final weeks, and in light of recent events we have decided not to renew our partnership.
"LG Australia will always look to work with ambassadors that share our core brand values and we take these relationships incredibly seriously to ensure we put our customers, employees and stakeholders first."
