Candice Warner<\/a> says Cricket Australia's decision to allow Tim Paine<\/a> to continue playing despite his sexting scandal is worrying as a wife of an Australian player.<\/p>\n

The ex-Ironwoman has been married to Australian opener David Warner<\/a> since 2015 and was asked for her opinion on how the scandal involving Paine has been handled. <\/p>\n

"They're basically saying that it's not okay for an Australian cricket captain send these messages, but it's okay for an Australian player," she told 2GB's Wide World of Sports Radio.<\/p>\n

"As a wife of an Australian cricketer, that is slightly concerning and it does make me worry."<\/p>\n

Despite calls from some parts of the cricket world for Paine to be removed from the side, Cricket Australia has continually stated that the recently-resigned skipper will be available for selection. <\/p>\n

If Paine is selected for the Ashes opener in Brisbane, he is likely to cop a barrage of sledges from England's Barmy Army, something the Warners are familiar with themselves.<\/p>\n

When asked how the wicketkeeper should deal with the treatment, Warner revealed her husband's approach.<\/p>\n

"In regards to David and myself, I think the Barmy Army you've got to look at it in a certain way," she said.<\/p>\n

\"Tim<\/p>\n

"I know the way David looks at it is, 'Well if they're singing about me, they're worried about me', so David uses it as a fuel to fire him up and get him going. <\/p>\n

"We saw images of David in England having a bit of a laugh with them. Even on Twitter, David will reply to some of the things and they'll have a laugh."<\/p>\n

Warner believes that the scandal won't have any impact on the Australian camp, saying the players are "really focused on the first game".<\/p>\n

"I think there are reports that the players are getting around and supporting him, but it's also about supporting his family through a really difficult situation," she said.<\/p>\n
