In an interview with Channel 9’s Sports Sunday show recently, Warner's wife, Candice spoke of the sacrifices her husband makes being a professional cricketer.
"David is away for 300 days in a year. He misses his girls. Small things like seeing his daughter walk for the first time. All these things people have to consider. Yes, cricketers get paid very well, but that doesn't mean they don't sacrifice. It's really hard," said Candice (32).

Having hardly spent any time home with his family, 30-year-old Warner had to return to India for the tenth edition of the multi-million dollar franchise-based Indian Premier League, where he represents Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Candice revealed how Warner recently surprised her and the kids after the India Test series. "Just recently, the fourth Test in India finished a day earlier. David came home and surprised me and the girls after knocking at the door. He got to spend three nights at home after a long travel," she added.
It's obviously tough being a cricketer, but it seems, it's a lot tougher being a young father.
