David Warner wife Candice has criticized Cricket Australia: Australian opener David Warner's wife Candice criticized Cricket Australia, saying that her husband did not get any support after the ball-tampering controversy in 2018.
David Warner is one of the best batsmen of the modern era. Warner will go down in cricket history as one of Australia's best batsmen across all formats. However, the specter of the 2018 ball-tampering controversy would haunt him for the rest of his career.
Warner withdrew his appeal against his leadership ban a few months after the ball-tampering controversy, meaning he could never captain the Australian team again. After the retirement of Aaron Finch, David Warner withdrew from the ODI captaincy claim. Warner's wife Candice lashed out at Cricket Australia after the Sandpaper Gate controversy and said that her husband did not get any support.
Candice Warner said in a conversation on Matty Jones podcast,There was no support. David was in tears by the time we left the hotel in South Africa. No Cricket Australia official was available to help him. You had to take care of yourself. Looks like just see you later. thank you for your services
He further said So that we will do our best that you can never come back and play for Australia. We will blame you for everything and that is what they did. The people who were close to me took care of me. No one supported us in the organization. Unfortunately, we were very upset at that time. You felt like washing then. You are washed and the next player takes your place. However, much changed and George Bailey and Andrew Macdonald did a good job. you expect the organization to support you
Candice made yet another sensational claim that a Cricket Australia official told her to shut her mouth. Candice said At that time someone from Cricket Australia said that this is in the interest of the team and you keep your mouth shut.This made me angry. David also got angry and said that we respect the team a lot, but we are also human beings. There was no help. It was very sad because I had accepted it.
Remind that Warner was banned for one year along with Steve Smith. He made a comeback in the 2019 World Cup and the Ashes series. However, Smith was handed a leadership ban of two years despite being captain at the time of the incident and is now Australia's vice-captain. Smith captained the national team on several occasions.
