David Warner, the suspended Australia batsman, and his wife Candice have opened up about the emotional and mental toll the family endured during the South Africa tour and in the aftermath of the ball-tampering controversy.
Candice, in an interview to Australian Women’s Weekly, revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage soon after her husband’s tearful press conference and their return to Australia amid intense criticism.
“My wife my rock has endured pain, disappointment, regrets in her past and so many highs and lows, but the courage Candice has shown in recent months is a testament to the qualities she has as a mother, person, friend and wife. I’m grateful every day I get to call her my wife and my soul mate, I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
David, along with Steve Smith, was handed a 12-month ban by Cricket Australia, while Cameron Bancroft was suspended for nine months for their roles in the Cape Town incident.
