Warner situation set to be win-win: Langer

Justin Langer is confident the World Cup's leading run-scorer David Warner won't have to miss any games, despite the upcoming birth of his third child.

Warner's pregnant wife Candice has flown over to London and is expected to give birth in the coming weeks while Australia's campaign is ongoing.

Australia are set to remain in London until Sunday, with games against England and New Zealand on Tuesday and Saturday respectively, both at Lord's, before heading to Manchester to face South Africa.

"He won't miss a match," said Langer. "That's why Candice has been over.

"It's worked really well. She's going to be in hospital at the time, so hopefully he doesn't miss a match. But we're all over that.

"I don't like surprises, I wasn't just going to turn up and go, 'oh she might have a baby, we might miss Davey for the semi-final'.

"That's what we try to do, always get win-win situations. We work together and we'll make sure it works out for everyone. Hopefully it will work out okay."

Warner was absent from Australia's optional training session on Sunday, which was held at the swish Merchant Taylors School in London's north with Lord's unavailable due to the Pakistan-South Africa game.

If the opener did have to sit out a game during the tournament, Australia have ready-made replacements.

Current No.3 Usman Khawaja forged a successful partnership with skipper Aaron Finch at the top of the order in the lead-up to the World Cup, while reserve batter Shaun Marsh could slot in at first drop.

Warner skipped an ODI tour of Zimbabwe back in 2014 for the birth of his first daughter Ivy-Mae, while he also missed two one-dayers in 2016 when his second daughter Indi-Rae arrived.

The 32-year-old has been in tremendous form since returning from his 12-month ban, surging to the top of the World Cup's run-scoring charts with 447 at 89.40 including centuries against Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Warner has insisted the excitement of the addition to his family would not distract him from his run-scoring ways.

"With a baby on the way in a couple of weeks, it's exciting for myself and my family," Warner said after his match-winning 166 off 147 balls against Bangladesh on Thursday.

"But my main focus is making sure that my wife is fine and she's comfortable, and obviously the team's perspective as well.

"I won't let that distract me from my goal, and that's to come out here and keep scoring as many runs as I can."

The 32-year-old credited Candice, a former professional ironwoman, and his daughters as his driving force during his year-long suspension from international cricket.

"The thing that kept me going was my wife and my kids," Warner said after posting his first ton back in Australian colours against Pakistan. "I've got great support at home, my family.

"And my wife – she's just my rock. She's unbelievable. She's determined, disciplined, selfless.

"I hold a lot of credit for her. She's a strong woman. And she got me out of bed a lot in those first sort of 12 weeks, and got me back running and training hard as I could.

"It was just (about) maintaining my level of fitness and just hard work. And she really nailed that into me."
