Tim Paine has resigned as Australia’s Test captain after a texting incident involving another lady, which his wife Bonnie was apparently aware of.
On Friday, November 18th, the cricketer announced his choice at a news conference.
In the midst of the reports, we take a look at his family life and relationship with his wife.
Tim Paine quits over scandal
Tim announced his resignation during a news conference, following an investigation by Cricket Australia into the cricketer’s text messages with another woman.
Tim and the woman exchanged communications throughout the 2017/18 Ashes series in November 2017.
With immediate effect, the 36-year-old footballer relinquished his captaincy. Tim, in an interview with reporters, said:
“I was involved in a text exchange with a then-colleague about four years ago. The exchange was the subject of a thorough CA Integrity Unit investigation at the time, which I completely cooperated with and engaged in openly. There had been no infraction of the Cricket Australia Code of Conduct, according to that investigation and a Cricket Tasmania HR probe conducted at the same time.
“I profoundly regretted this episode at the time, and I still do today, despite being exonerated.” At the moment, I spoke with my wife and family, and I am grateful for their forgiveness and support.”
“On consideration, my actions in 2017 do not meet the standard of an Australian cricket captain, let alone the greater society,” he concluded. I sincerely regret the grief and pain I’ve caused my wife, family, and the other person.
“I apologize for whatever harm this has caused to our sport’s reputation. And I believe that stepping down as captain, effective immediately, is the proper move. I don’t want this to provide an unwelcome distraction for the team before the crucial Ashes series.
