David Warner has lashed out at Cricket Australia for handling his captaincy saga and said he hasn’t received support from them during the whole ordeal.
Warner was in the news when he decided to withdraw his appeal for a review of his captaincy ban. The Australia opener hasn’t been in the best of form as he struggled in the series against West Indies and in the first Test against South Africa.Â
“My mental health probably wasn’t where it was at, or where I need to be at, to be 100 per cent – and that was challenging,” he said. “If I had my way, we would have had that all sorted. From the CA point of view, I didn’t really have any support.”
“My teammates and the staff in our team were absolutely amazing, and my family and friends, so they really got me through that period.”
Warner said that he had reached out to CA in February this year to have his captaincy ban overturned and isn’t sure how it was dragged on for so long.
“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.”
