Australia's David Warner who won the Allan Border Medal earlier this year for his stupendous
on-field performances, was on Sunday Sep 04,2016 awarded the 2016 Philips Sports Dad
of the Year for his role as a father of two, Ivy Mae and Indi Rae.
David Warner, who led Australia to an ODI Series win over Sri Lanka with consecutive wins in Dambulla earlier this week, has often said the influence of his wife Candice and his responsibilities as a father have made him a more stable person both on and off the cricket field.
"Fatherhood has helped me a lot with my game, and off the field it gives me something always to have as a responsibility," Warner told cricket.com.au
"I think she got me into a great routine coming from her sporting background of being an iron woman, which takes a lot of discipline and strength and courage to do that (sport). And upon yourself to get up in the early hours of the morning to start training is a credit to her, and I think that's exactly what modelled me into probably being the person I am today."

David Warner crowned 2016 Sports Dad of the Year! Happy Father's Day to all the dads: https://t.co/05j5myUX7Npic.twitter.com/4kX9xBTMa2"I've always dreamed of having kids and I thoroughly enjoy having children, and I think my wife has been a key factor for me being a little bit more tame and humble as I've got older.
