The veteran Australian opener, David Warner’s wife Candice Warner has taken a sly dig at the critics of her husband after Aaron Finch-led Australian side scripted history by winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 on Sunday. Being praised for his match-winning knock against Kane Williamson-led New Zealand in the final of the ICC World T20 2021, premier opener Warner guided the men in yellow to their maiden world title in the shortest format of the game at the Dubai International Stadium.
Taking to Twitter after Australia’s historic win over Williamson’s New Zealand in the summit clash, Candice Warner decided to poke fun at Warner’s critics for questioning the inclusion of the veteran opener in the star-studded World Cup squad. She wrote, “Out of form, too old and slow! @davidwarner31.”
