David Warner won't take CA contract as he eyes white-ball future

David Warner has opened up about why he won't accept another contract with Cricket Australia - and why meeting his wife Candice turned his life around and rid him of some shocking habits for a professional athlete, according to British daily The Daily Mail.
Warner, 37, has been a key member of the Australian side since 2011, but plans to retire from Test cricket this summer after the third Test against Pakistan at the SCG.
The Aussie side is then scheduled to play ODI and T20 matches against the West Indies - but Warner will not take part.
However, that doesn't mean he will be retiring from all formats, with the batting legend keen to play white ball cricket into 2025.
Warner says he will refuse a contract from Cricket Australia so he will have more flexibility around where he can play - as well as spending more time at home with his family.
'I won't be taking a contract, definitely not,' Warner told reporters on Thursday.
'How the system works in Australia is that if you play five [T20] games or ODIs, or three Tests, you get upgraded and then you're legally bound by contracting system with sponsors and stuff.
'That's something that becomes a bit of a pain in the backside, especially at my stage of my career. 'So I don't want to be signed to that agreement and that's something I have to think about moving forward, because if you're going to get a low contract, it's going to cost you a lot in the long run with sponsorships.'
'I've got to sit back and have a look at what the schedule is, the (ICC) Future Tours schedule and you've got a Champions Trophy that's coming up as well. So they're potentially on my horizon.'
Warner credits meeting his wife, and former pro ironwoman, Candice as completely transforming his attitude and discipline.
'My biggest driving force is attitude,' he says. 'That's one thing you can control. You can control attitude. It's about how you wake up in the morning.
'I was waking up at 10-11 o'clock in the morning before I met Candice. Then my day would start at 2pm. That's how my days were back then.
'Her discipline and attitude changed my mindset of what I had to do. That was a system I had to put into place. Work hard, train hard and the rewards will come.
