Candice Warner has slammed Cricket Australia and her husband David’s “selfish” cricket teammates for kicking him out of the game in an explosive television outburst.

The 37-year-old batsman, who recently retired from the ODI and Test scene, played his last Test match against Pakistan at the SCG in January.

Candice, who appears on the latest season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, lashed out at Cricket Australia on Tuesday night’s episode.

“He’s always had people who have had the wrong idea about him,” Candice said on Tuesday night’s episode.

‘But when you really get to know him, he is the kindest and most generous person. I think it would have been better if he had played in a different era.”

Paralympic swimmer Ellie Cole asked: “Are you talking about a time without as much media attention?”

Candice replied: ‘Well, in an era where people aren’t so selfish. You know, where it’s more about other players protecting the players.”

Social media star Skye Wheatley asked: ‘OMG, are you saying that’s how he got burned… by his teammates?’

Candice then revealed that David and Cricket Australia’s former teammates were not supportive.

‘Sometimes 100 percent. But it’s not just them. It’s management,” Candice said.

“Look, the current coaching staff is just brilliant. Like them, very different coaching style and all that.

“But throughout his career, the administration definitely, basically, didn’t want him there. Because he is different, he doesn’t usually fit the mold of a cricketer.

Candice said the management didn't want David in the game because he is different from the average cricket star.

Later, in an on-camera piece, Candice continued her comments about those who burned her and David.

“There have been a lot of people who burned me and David along the way and it happens to a lot of people,” he said.

“And it wouldn’t be right for me to name them individually, but those people know who they are.”
