The wife of disgraced cricketer David Warner revealed on Thursday that she suffered a miscarriage in the aftermath of her husband’s part in a ball-tampering scandal that rocked the game.

Candice Warner said the couple lost the baby a week after his tearful press conference in Sydney in late March after he was sent home from Australia’s tour of South Africa and banned for a year.
She attributed the loss to stress and an arduous flight home, describing the couple’s devastation at realising she was miscarrying.

“I called Dave to the bathroom and told him I was bleeding. We knew I was miscarrying. We held one another and cried,” she told the Australian Women’s Weekly magazine.

“The miscarriage was a heartbreaking end to a horror tour.

“The ordeal from the public humiliations to the ball-tampering had taken its toll and, from that moment, we decided nothing will impact our lives like that again.”
