David Warner apologised for his actions in the early hours of Sunday morning when he threw a punch at the England batsman Joe Root in a Birmingham nightclub.
Warner admitted his actions had let down his team mates, the fans and Cricket Australia, and he apologised to Root.
The Australian opener was effectively suspended on Thursday morning for three weeks for his "unprovoked physical attack" on Root. He was also fined A$11,500 (about £7,000), after pleading guilty to unbecoming behaviour at a Cricket Australia hearing.
At a hastily convened press conference in London on Thursday evening Warner said he was sorry for letting everyone down and said he was grateful to still be on the tour.
"I apologise for what I did and I can't put myself in that position again," he said. "Not let the team down, not let everyone else down, and in these circumstances try not to be aggressive like I was. I have got to move on and do everything I can to be picked for this first Test now that I am unavailable for the rest of the Champions Trophy."
He added: "It's up to me to the little 1% things to help the team to progress in the Champions Trophy and then hopefully move on to have a great preparation leading into the Ashes.
"I won't deny I had a couple of drinks but, as I said, there's no excuse for [what happened]. It's totally out of line. I'm extremely apologetic; it should not have happened. I have exchanged text messages with Joe. He accepted my apology, which I'm thoroughly grateful for and it won't come to that circumstance again because I will make the right decisions. I am here to move on."
Warner's ban covers the rest of Australia's Champions Trophy campaign and their two four-day matches ahead of the Ashes against Somerset and Worcestershire.
Cricket Australia confirmed that he "will be eligible for selection for the first Test" which starts at Trent Bridge on 10 July. But by then he will have gone more than a month since his last innings – against England at Edgbaston on Saturday – and almost four since he last faced a red ball in the middle, in Australia's 4-0 series defeat in India.
He said he had been drinking in the team's hotel before the players reconvened at the Walkabout club where he confronted Root in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Asked if he had a drink problem he replied: "Definitely not. I don't think I have a drink problem at all. I have got to make the right decisions at the right time. The other night wasn't a good night to go out and have a beer. We had lost the game. Even though we had a day off the next day, we had still lost. We don't have curfews but, looking back, I shouldn't have been in that situation. "
Last month he was fined £3,700 for a foul-mouthed tweet exchange with two Australian journalists.
