Cricket News Desk. David Warner, who recently won Australia's most prestigious cricket award, the Allan Border Medal, has credited his wife Candice for his success. In a podcast, David Warner said that he was an alcoholic and often got out of control, but his wife Candice corrected him. To fix this, Candice even slapped him, which was revealed by Warner himself.

Candice changed Warner's life

David Warner said, 'Candice slapped me on the back of the head one day and asked, 'Why don't you have discipline? Why do you drink alcohol? Why don't you wake up early when you compete?' David Warner then admitted that he had no choice but to follow Candice. Warner said that other players were drinking, but because of Candice they were not touching him. Warner also said that drinking is part of the Australian dressing room but he listened to his wife. “You don't believe what it takes to get to the next level, but if I hadn't changed my habits, I probably would have been out of the team,” Warner said.

I needed to change for the better, I give credit to Candice.

Warner said, 'Family is more important than cricket'

David Warner also revealed that his family is more important to him than cricket. “Cricket is not as important to me as my family is,” Warner said. I always feel that cricket comes in my family. I don't like to sleep that Candice is taking care of all three children alone.
