Hours after being named as the new Kangaroos captain, Greg Inglis has been charged by police for drink driving and speeding offences.
The South Sydney star was reportedly driving along the Great Western Highway in a black Mercedes when police say he was pulled over at 2.15pm yesterday.
Inglis has had his license suspended and is scheduled to appear in Lithgow Local Court on the 22nd of next month.
Earlier yesterday Inglis was named the new captain of the Kangaroos for Tests against New Zealand and Tonga in Auckland later this month.
Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga chose him to succeed long‑time skipper Cameron Smith and lead a 19‑man squad missing nine members of last year's World Cup‑winning team.
