Warner welcomes new child in London

David Warner's wonderful run in recent weeks has continued with the star batsman announcing the arrival of his third child

Explosive Australia opener David Warner has taken to social media to announce the safe arrival of his third child.

The in-form Australia batsman took to Instagram on Monday evening to reveal that his wife Candice had given birth to Isla Rose Warner in London.

"We welcomed our newest family member Isla Rose Warner at 10:30pm late last night," Warner's post read.

"@candywarner1 was absolutely amazing. Mum and Bub doing very well and her big sisters are over the moon."

The birth of Isla Rose now means Warner has three daughters under the age of five, with Candice having previously given birth to Ivy-Mae and Indi-Rae in Australia.

Despite the demands of bringing up such a young family, Warner admits he loves spending as much time as he can with his wife and children.

"I just love being a father. I've got a great, supportive wife, a great family base at home as well," Warner said last week.

"We've got great support around us, the guys here have been fantastic, they've really got around me at this important time for my family."

Warner scores classy World Cup century

Warner is currently the leading run scorer at the World Cup, having already amassed 516 runs through eight matches for his country.

The planned arrival of his new child means Warner is unlikely to miss any World Cup action, with Australia’s final clash prior to the semi-finals in Manchester on Saturday against South Africa.
