David Warner opened up about his poor mental health ahead of the recent Test series against the West Indies. He had conflict with Cricket Australia fir not lifting his leadership ban appeal. He said that CA’s handling of the entire process has put his mental health in poor condition.
“I am not willing for my family to be the washing machine for cricket’s dirty laundry.”
“We reached out in February. So we have no idea how it went on this far and only CA can answer that and they’ll probably give you the same thing that they always give everyone else, they don’t really give an answer,” said Warner at the MCG on December 24 as quoted by Cricbuzz.
If I had it my way, we would have had it all sorted: David Warner
“Leading into the Perth Test, my mental health probably wasn’t where I needed it to be at to be 100 percent. And that was challenging at the time. If I had it my way, we would have had it all sorted. From the CA point of view, I didn’t really have any support. My team-mates and the staff in our team were absolutely amazing, and my family and friends – they really got me through that period,” he added.
