CA decided it couldn't honour its commitment to have Johnson as a guest during two lunches of the Perth Test due to the harsh criticism he directed towards Warner and chairman of selectors George Bailey in his column for The West Australian.
Former players, who turn to the world of media after their playing days, must shed their cricketing gear behind them.
Australia's chief selector stressed the need to ensure there was no hangover from the departure of such an influential individual.
Tim Paine's shock resignation on Friday over sexually explicit text messages followed Steve Smith's departure from the team's leadership in the wake of the controversial 2018 Newlands ball-tampering scandal.
Paine, who replaced Smith as skipper after the scandal, said Bancroft's comment would not damage his chances of returning to the Test team once he returns from playing county cricket in England.
Bancroft, who was banned for scuffing the ball with a piece of sandpaper during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town in March, 2018, lit the fuse last week with a cryptic comment in a newspaper interview.
The former Australia captain was jeered by the crowd in last year's Ashes series for the 2018 ball-tampering scandal that unfolded in South Africa on his watch.
Smith has been England's tormentor-in-chief in the ongoing Ashes series, which Australia have already retained after winning the fourth Test in Manchester.
Social media went into overdrive after video footage showed spinner Adam Zampa putting his hand into his pocket before rubbing the ball prior to bowling the 24th over.
Much has changed since Cricket Australia slapped former captain Smith and his deputy Warner with 12-month suspensions for the Cape Town scandal, while giving Cameron Bancroft a lighter nine-month sentence.
