Australian cricketer David Warner was mysteriously dropped as captain of his Indian Premier League team on Saturday as the world's most expensive cricket tournament continues in a nation battling a horrific Covid 'second wave'. 

And on Monday, David's wife Candice put on a brave face and let off some steam hitting golf balls at the exclusive NSW Golf Club in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

After working on her swing on the driving range and practicing her putting, the retired ironwoman turned Olympics commentator, 36, told Daily Mail Australia the couple and their three daughters are coping well - despite David's uncertain future in India where 3,000 a day are dying from Covid.

Warner was said to be 'shocked and disappointed' at the Sunrisers Hyderabad decision to not only drop him as captain, but from the team, ahead of their Sunday night game with Rajasthan Royals. Despite the 34-year-old being dropped, the team lost by 55 runs,, keeping them firmly anchored on last place in the tournament.
