Candice Warner given phone number to call if abused againPhotograph: Dean Lewins/EPAPhotograph: Dean Lewins/EPAAustralia’s offer of extra security at Test matches is important for the safety of her three daughters and families of all players. Warner revealed on Monday she was abused by a member of the crowd in Adelaide last week while walking to meet her husband and Australian opener David in the players’ area.
“I just said, ‘Look it’s unnecessary, I don’t need an escort. I’m very independent and I can stick up for myself’,” she told Triple M Summer Breakfast. “But it’s more about the safety of all the players and their partners and families, and just everyone in general. As a mum of three daughters, their safety is paramount.”
“I have a phone number I can call, as can everyone else,” Warner said. “It’s not just a phone number for me or the Warners. This was a personal attack on me. It’s got nothing to do with Dave, it’s about my past and about me.”
