SOUTHAMPTON, May 2: Shane Warne has firmly rubbished rumours of an impending return to Australia's limited overs squad. Warne, back in England for the start of a county season with Hampshire, said he had no intention of coming out of his self-imposed ODI retirement.
The Hampshire captain was mystified as to why Australia coach John Buchanan thought he might be ready to change his mind in time for the World Cup next year in the West Indies.
“I must have said it 14,000 times. I have retired and I have no aspirations to return,” Warne said on Monday after skippering Hampshire to victory in their C and G Trophy one-day match against Essex at the Rose Bowl.—AFP
