Cricketer David Warner reveals he wants to enter POLITICS

David Warner says his next move after he retires from cricket may well be heading into politics. 

Speaking to Stellar’s latest issue, the athlete, 34, who resides in Sydney, says he’s been encouraged to run for public office once he packs away his bats. 

‘My days as a cricket player are numbered, and the past two years have been like a bit of a sense of retirement for everyone,’ he said. 

‘A lot of people do say that I should look at politics. From where I sit in my life, I love global politics. And I do love the sense of helping people.’ 

He added that he is tired of how premiers are running the states – and thinks he could lend a hand.   

‘I don’t know a lot about policies, but I’m sick of the bullsh*t that [politicians] want to try to throw,’ he said.

‘I love being part of a team. But when you’ve got state premiers who don’t want to work as a team and are throwing others under the bus, it’s not a great look for a country. It’s showing we are divided.

‘How are you supposed to teach your kids the importance of working together when our leaders aren’t?’   

David and his wife Candice, 36, who married in 2015, are parents to daughters Ivy, six, Indi, five, and Isla, one.
