Candice Warner has given a candid insight into her family life with husband David following his retirement from Test cricket.

The former ironwoman, 39 years old, revealed she gave the sports star a financial allowance.

Speaking backstage with Cooper and Matty Johns podcast in a joint interview with David, she explained that she was tightening the purse strings because her husband37 years old, is a big spender.

She added that David didn’t even have a banking app on his own phone.

“I’m pretty conservative, but David is definitely a spender,” she explained.

“David has an allowance. That’s a healthy allowance, so don’t think I’m holding him by the balls and he can’t enjoy his life.

He joked about his allowance: “I got a drop once, I got it once, and I said, ‘Did I get paid?’

Discussing how she manages their finances, Candice said she is responsible for making sure their mortgage and bills are paid.

But this arrangement has a drawback: David cannot surprise his wife with lavish gifts.

“If I try to surprise Candice and buy her a gift, I can’t because she will see the transaction happening!” ” he said.

The mother-of-three also gave an insight into how their family life will change following David’s retirement from Test cricket.

She welcomed the time David is currently able to spend with her and their children – Ivy Mae, nine, Indi Rae, eight, and Isla Rose, five – but said he will still have to be away for long periods of time. periods.

Candice admitted she was “relieved” after his retirement, but clarified people’s expectations that David would now just be a stay-at-home dad.

“It wasn’t a sad moment at all, something I think David was ready for – maybe I’m wrong – but just a relief,” she shared.

“For us it was a relief, but at the same time it also meant a lot more cricket.” What people probably don’t realize, they think “he’s retired from Test cricket, he’s going to be at home a lot more” but that’s not the case at all.

“It’s rare, but after that he will be out for almost four to five months.”

David shocked the sporting world by announcing his retirement from Test and One Day International cricket in June last year.

And last year he then made the emotional decision to retire from one-day international cricket before his final Test match.

In January, David made a match-winning 57 runs in his final innings to help Australia claim victory at the SCG and complete a 3-0 series win over Pakistan to give him a perfect farewell to red-ball cricket.

The veteran said he was “comfortable” that the time was right to conclude his ODI career as well after Australia’s World Cup triumph in India late last year.

He signaled the decision would create opportunities to play franchise cricket overseas and would not rule out a return should Australia require an opening match for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.

“It was a decision I was very, very comfortable with. To win in India, where we were from, was absolutely incredible,” he said.

“The team, not just under Patty but coach Andrew McDonald himself, everything is so calm and relaxed within the team.

“We go out there, we’re adults, we strive to practice to the best of our ability and then go out there and play.” There’s never any added pressure, it’s always the same, come in, do what you have to do. We like to win.

“When we lost two games in a row in India, the bonds grew stronger with each other and it was not by chance or chance that we were able to get to where we were.

“Maxi’s heroics, captaincy, skills and execution in the way we played against India was phenomenal, and the Calcutta semi-final shouldn’t be discounted either.”

“I know the Champions Trophy is coming…if I’m playing good cricket in two years and they need someone, I’ll be available,” he added.
