Academy for kids

Published January 9, 2007

LONDON, Jan 8: Shane Warne is thinking of setting up a cricket academy for children in England, the Australian spinner disclosed on Monday. In his regular column in The Times, Warne repeated that Australian cricket was his priority and that his manager had been talking to Cricket Australia about a possible role.

But he also said he wanted to “make sure that cricket stays healthy worldwide”.

“I would not have any problem with helping in England, New Zealand, South Africa or anywhere else,” Warne wrote.

“One idea I have is for a Shane Warne Cricket Academy for kids in England.“I don't know how it may work or how feasible it would be. Whatever I do, I want to do it properly.”—Reuters
