Australian opener David Warner finds himself in the midst of controversy leading up to Australia’s Test series against Pakistan. Mitchell Johnson’s sharp critique of Warner’s place in the Test team prompted a defense from Warner’s wife, Candice.
Addressing the criticism at a promotional event, Candice assured, “We’re doing well.” She expressed joy at having David home after a three-month absence, emphasizing the significance of being together as a family for Christmas.
Grateful for the support Warner received, Candice highlighted his character, stating, “He’s a good human being, and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.”
In the wake of Johnson’s remarks, fellow Australian cricketers Usman Khawaja and Glenn Maxwell rallied behind Warner’s selection for the Test match. Johnson’s criticism, rooted in lingering resentment from the 2018 ball-tampering incident, questioned whether Warner deserves a hero’s send-off, particularly at his home ground, the Sydney Cricket Ground.
