David Warner fails to understand why Cricket Australia hasn’t revoked the leadership ban yet

David Warner was involved in the infamous ball-tampering saga in 2018 during Australia’s match against South Africa. As a result of this, Cricket Australia imposed a lifetime leadership ban on him, plus a ban from playing cricket for a year. Warner recently revealed he is willing to do the coaching job but for the role, CA has to revoke the leadership ban.

What's the difference between captaining and coaching? You've got more responsibility as a coach, wouldn't you think so? I don't know, I'm not sure, I don't know how to answer. It's been five years, and I still don't know how to answer.
Warner told Code Sports (quoted by news.com.au)

Warner will be playing his next international match on February 1, in the first T20I against West Indies. He also retired from ODIs recently.
